If you add something like this:
AccessFileName .htaccess
<Directory "/var/www">
AllowOverride All
Options None
</Directory>
Inside the:
<VirtualHost>
</VirtualHost>
Section in your /etc/apache/httpd.conf for the server
you wish to effect.
The reason it doesn't work by default in / is that you
have:
DocumentRoot /var/www
#
# Each directory to which Apache has access, can be
configured with respect
# to which services and features are allowed and/or
disabled in that
# directory (and its subdirectories).
#
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very
restrictive set of
# permissions.
#
<Directory />
Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
further up in your httpd.conf
You will notice that in your /ect/apache/access.conf
it now says:
#
# This is the default file for the AccessConfig
directive in httpd.conf.
# It is processed after httpd.conf and srm.conf.
#
# To avoid confusion, it is recommended that you put
all of your
# Apache server directives into the httpd.conf file
and leave this
# one essentially empty.
#
So you shouldn't use access.conf any more.
Kind regards,
John
