 |
|
I use the exact same .htaccess on a netbsd box and it works like a champ, but on my gentoo box it isnt doing anything. I run Apache2 and I'm just doing 1 simple redirect and directory protection..
Is there anything that Apache2 maybe had to be emerged with in the USE flag catagory or a module that needs to be loaded or something. I highly doubted it, but I've TRIED EVERYTHING and RTFM.

Check all the <Directory /path> declarations in your httpd.conf and if you us vhosts, your default vhost conf file as well. I can't remember if I had to change it when I first set up Apache2, but AllowOverride needs to be set to allow the .htaccess file to override the settings of that directory. I believe that in Gentoo it defaults to 'AllowOverride None'.

Using the exact same http.conf should work assuming this line is in | Code: | | AccessFileName .htaccess |
this line could be in another file maybe a vhost or something. Try | Code: | | cat /etc/apache2/httpd.conf | grep .htaccess |
to ensure you have the correct line. As quantum0726 mentioned it is also possible you may have a conflicting line in one of the other apache configuration files. You could add the accessfilename to a vhost as well.

That line is in my .htaccess. I'll continue to hunt I guess. |

Change in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf this line:
AllowOverride None
to this:
AllowOverride All
After restart of the Apache it will be working. |

Yep, this worked. For the person who submitted this topic, please post SOLVED in the subject so others can use this in case they have the same problem you did.
I can verify that I had this problem, and this is what immediately fixed it.
