 |
|
Hi,
i'm trying to set up a webpage locally on my machine to later just copy it to a webhoster.
As the site's only purpose will be communication and photo-exchange with some friends spread over the country i want to make it password-protected. However, when i set it up and put a .htaccess-file in /var/www/localhost/htdocs it is just ignored, if i put it in a subdirectory it works.
I have this entry in my httpd.conf
| Code: |
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
|
If i move and modify the .htaccess file and move it to ./subdirectory and modify the entry in httpd.conf accordingly it works fine.
Do i have to use a dummy file in ./htdocs which only redirects to another directory, or is there a way to do this correctly?
Besides this entry in httpd.conf the configs are more or less as they come with a fresh install.
Andreas

Have you taken a look at your....
| Code: |
/etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf |
file?
The /etc/apache2/httpd.conf contains "generic" settings (at least that is what i got from it) and the default vhost file is where i put all those configurations like...
| Code: | <Directory "/Web/Goldfish">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |

| Thanks a lot, i saw the include at the end of the httpd.conf, but since it's the first time i set up apache i just didn't realize that the file is important as well. |
