Actually, I was comparing between the two - I just threw in a third because
I wasn't seeing any differences at all.

The syntax in the .htaccess is fine - it's built with a script I use on all
of the servers.  That was the first thing I compared to see if somehow,
magically, things had changed.  ;-)

I think this touches on another issue I brought up on the list yesterday -
that my webalizer stats weren't showing at all.  Same thing was happening
there - people get a 'page not found' error when going to their stats
directory.

Considering that and the .htaccess problem I am having now, I am not going
to uninstall and re-install webalizer (unless someone thinks that is
affecting everything!), and keep on plugging away trying to figure out just
what is wrong with .htaccess.

Are there any other files aside from the *.conf series that affect the
.htaccess files?

I tried the AllowOverride All - and restarted the server.  Nothing.
Rebooted the server.  Nada.

The server that .htaccess works fine on doesn't have the AllowOverride line
set to 'All' either and it works fine.  There's something else here that is
causing the issue......  :\

I and I totally agree with you on the syntax being too damn proprietary! :)
