The root are not to hot to chance the setting to allow
.htaccess. It's for security raison.

Their is any fair about that? Or he can only activate
.htaccess?
_____________________________________________________

The only way to permit .htaccess files to work requires
that changes be made to the httpd.conf file.

If you don't have access to and control of the httpd.conf
file then you can't make .htaccess files work. If you
need .htaccess file to work in order to provide the
ability to customize your error responses and your
"root" won't let you, then your only option is
chroot(). (:-D)

OTOH, since you don't already know all this information,
it does not suprise me tha the "root" doesn't want you to
be altering settings in the the httpd.conf file or to be
creating .htaccess files. The security "raison" that he
seems most concerned about is you.
