RE: [cobalt-developers] .htaccess again

["Gilbert, Mark" <MGilbert@xxxxxxxxx>]

Declan:

I've found that simply changing the AllowOverride line that is by itself
(not the one enclosed in the Directory directive tags) will enable the
.htaccess files.  I am not entirely sure what the second AllowOverride
directive is meant to be used for - any comments on this would be
appreciated!
