If it's hashed out, and more restrictive settings are in place elsewhere in
the file - and they usually are - it could be your problem. As a quick test,
try this out without the hash mark

AllowOverride All

If you find that does the trick, don't leave it like that, check the apache
options to only put the specific overrides in place you require. Obviously,
back up your httpd.conf, access.conf and srm.conf before performing any
surgery.

I'm not sure if you are attempting to allow restricted access to the dir, or
just override the server config in this instance, or maybe both. You first
need to decide what is causing the grief - the .htaccess directives, or the
PHP commands in them. Try it a bit at a time, don't add any access
restrictions (if they are needed) to the .htaccess in that dir until you're
sure the override you need is working. Try using .htaccess on other non-php
vituals on the server, and see what the result is. If all is OK with them,
then start investigating the php configuration.
