Thanks. I've updated the how-to-mirror docs with "Options Indexes" and "AllowOverride all". I've also removed the CheckSpelling directive from the .htaccess. I was trying to prevent the need for "AllowOverride all", because I suspect some mirrors wouldn't want to give that much access to their server, but I think if I don't put it in there is a big chance of accidentally breaking mirrors in the future. Please let me know when your mirror is working (http://apache.obantec.com/dist/httpd/ still gives a 500 at the moment) and I'll add it to the list. Joshua.
