So I moved a wiki by copying the whole wiki directory and backing up the database and re-importing the database on to a new server. Everything is good except the images. Images are not rendering. So I looked in my error logs and found this:

/var/www/html/mediawiki/images/.htaccess: RewriteEngine not allowed here

I renamed this .htaccess file to something else and the images are now rendering. But I'm just curious why I had to do this. The .htaccess file is on the original server - again, I copied the whole wiki directory so everything is the same from wiki 1 to wiki 2. just trying to understand more. (http web server has the same config also).

thanks,
Chris
