Hello world, I am being bullied by the security considerations of a standard apache installation on centos-5.6 and rhel-6 aswell - these apache are recent flavors from the respective repos of these platforms.
The problem is this snippet from httpd.conf ## <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> ## are causing any htaccessfile not to be respected, then one might think, i will adjust that in my vhost for this particular directory where i have a .htaccess file. However that just will not work, nor with AllowOverride FileInfo or AllowOverride All, like so: <Directory /var/www/website/> AllowOverride FileInfo </Directory> So i thought to put it inside httpd.conf with the exact catalogue name that is used in the vhostsfile - not event that allows respecting of the presence of .htaccess file in the catalogue. The goal is to disallow the reading of htaccessfiles (AllowOverride None) in all directories served, besides the one at /var/www/website, its okay if they are not read from /var/www/websites/congo/. Not that i have a few vhost containers, so the generic solution would be appreciated to implement. Ive spend hours locating the problem, and hours trying various combinations and browsing suggestions through - no solution yet... br congo --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
