.htaccess is not used by apache (solved)

[wimr0001]

I need .htaccess for rewriting url's and some other things.
The rewriting does not function and after many tests and comparing with an apache webserver on the local pc using the same configuration with .htaccess, I come to the conclusion that the .htaccess file is not used at all.
For instance the construction:
<FilesMatch "\.(txt|htm)$">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from none
</FilesMatch>

does not work on the B3. It does however on my local apache server.

Of course, I did not change the apache2.conf (AccessFileName .htaccess), nor did I some override in the httpd.conf

Has anyone an idea?

Did you even bother to search yourself?

But anyway, here's a link that may help: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=.htaccess+is+not+used+by+apache

the magic line is this:

Code: Select all

What you can put in [.htaccess] files is determined by the AllowOverride directive [from the main apache config]. This directive specifies, in categories, what directives will be honored if they are found in a .htaccess file. If a directive is permitted in a .htaccess file, the documentation for that directive will contain an Override section, specifying what value must be in AllowOverride in order for that directive to be permitted.

Thanks for your help.
The solution? change the file 'apache.site' in directory /usr/share/bubba-frontend'?
I prefer not to do so. Is there another solution?

You have to make a modification in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/bubba

Change the red word in het following from None to All (make sure it is in the section <VirtualHost *:80>
