Hi Felix

Have a look about this post in the Knowledge Base:

There is an issue of htaccess files not being recognized on the RaQ4. This
is
due to the default configuration of the access.conf file and the
AllowOverride
parameter. The default configuration of the .htaccess files do allow for
password protecting directories. The AllowOverride directive is not set to
"All"
by default because this is a security risk. To change the directive edit the
/etc/httpd/conf/access.conf file and replace AllowOverride AuthConfig
Indexes
Limit to AllowOverride All.

Note, there are two places "AllowOverride AuthConfig Indexes Limit" is set.
One
is under the [Directory /] and one under [Directory /home/sites/]. The one
to
replace is under [Directory /home/sites/].

Best regards
Allen Neeser

Help. Live Server of my client!


Hi all,

I have got the problem, that I can not access to any webfolders using
..htaccess after I updated with the cobalt patches.

I have got a Raq 4 and I did all Update, witch are availble (under
http://www.cobalt.com/support/download/raq4.eng.html). (stupid, but I heard,
that Cobalt Updates are very reliable).

Now I do not know, what to do.

I would be realy thankful, if some of you can help me, because I run some
applications on it for my client, using htaccess.

Thanks and best Regards,
Felix
