Gerald,

I had a similar issue earlier this month - the RAQ4 simply didn't create the entries required in the access.conf file - it was most odd - check the access.conf for an entry like this:

<Directory /home/sites/site1>
AllowOverride All
Options All
</Directory>

Of course, you know more than I on these issues - but I was flummoxed on this until this solution was posted by Andras Kende - this was posted 1st December.

I too was sceptical that this would be the problem, I had no idea how the access.conf file could have become screwed - I was *wrong* - note this date - I don't admit that very often! ;{)
