Apologies if this has come twice - I sent a forwarded email about a hour ago, it doesn't appear to have come through.

I sent this to the cobalt-developers list, but didn't get any response.  Its very important that I get this resolved ASAP.

See the (edited) forward below:

> I've developed a MySQL+PHP based CMS which uses a .htaccess file to change various options in Apache - I've chosen to do this because there's many things I don't want globally, but only to apply to the site.  This functions perfectly on two boxes in my home running apache (FreeBSD 4.6 & Linux 2.4).

I've seen this problem mentioned on a whole bunch of threads on this mailing list, but with no real answers.

Please help :)
