Could somebody clarify this? The documentation for AllowOverride states that the
default for the directive is "AllowOverride All". But if you add an alias to a
directory and do not include a <Directory ..> block for the aliased directory or if
you simply exclude the AllowOverride directive from the <Directory...> block, Apache
will ignore the .htaccess file even if it exists. The default in
create_core_dir_config() is to set the override field to OR_UNSET. This would imply
that the default behavior of AllowOverride would be either undetermined or to inherit
the parent directory's overrides. Is this a bug in the documentation or the source
code? Or can somebody explain how the documentation reflects the source code?
thanks,
