Re: [cobalt-users] .htaccess for dummies

[Regulateur SAVmac <regulateur@xxxxxxxxxx>]

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/].
