Nigel, I have been working on this recently as well. I still need to finish to incorporate into a website, but the advise I got and which worhed for me from Mark E. Gilbert, Granite Solutions [EMAIL PROTECTED] yes but... the httpd.conf file has been mucked about by cobalt to ignor .ht files so they won't override apache :( You will need to invalidate your warranty (!) and telnet in(SSH!) backup then edit the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file in pico or other txt editor about half way down you'll see the reference to .ht files ALLOW OVERRDIES NONE just add the functions that you want .ht to be allowed to do e.g. ALLOW OVERRIDES ALL (done use this options;) then restart apache /etc/rc.d/inint.d/httpd restart Before you edit the access.conf file with pico, you will need to switch over to the "root" account by logging into the server through telnet as "admin", running "su root" to switch over to the root account, and entering the "admin" password again (root and admin use the same password). BE CAREFUL!! While you are logged in as "root" you can do ANYTHING to the server, including deleting critical program files. I usually stay logged in as "root" only as much as I absolutely need to, and not a second longer. Sincerely, Declan Connolly. _______________________________________________ cobalt-developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-developers
