[cobalt-users] Raq4: Broken .htaccess only for /home/sites/home/web

["Michelle A. Hoyle" <mahlist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had Cobalt Professional Services build me a special set of rpms for 
Apache 1.3.20 as we're using auth_dbm to authenticate one of our 
large sites against a dbm-style database.  As far as I can tell, the 
rpms installed without a hitch and work properly except for one tiny 
little thing:

I can't have PAM or non-PAM-authenticated directories 
/home/sites/home/ anymore.     Regular htaccess files work fine in 
other domains on the Raq.  It just seems to be the 
/home/sites/home/web directory.

The administration server is working correctly.

I had a look in access.cnf, but I didn't see anything amiss in there. 
Any ideas on where to start looking?

Thanks,

Michelle
