FC5. Just trying to figure out how to use .htaccess with ISPconfig. Everything I've found in the forums so far hasn't worked. I added: Code: <Directory /var/www/web15/web/> AllowOverride All </Directory> to the Apache Directives field and checked and verified that it was in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf so it should be working right? Then all I should have to do is say... add Options +Indexes or whatever to a htaccess file and should work right? I check the error log and it shows "Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/web15/web/" What am I doing wrong?
Normally it shold work like this. Have you tried to remove the slash at the end of the path? If you want to allow this for all websites, you can change the ISPConfig default at the end of your apacahe.conf or apache2.conf file, there is a directory directive for /var/www/*/web
Tried both, neither worked. And WHY does the stupid index.html keep showing up in my web directory no matter how many times I delete it? GRRRRRRRRRRR. p.s. I assumed you were talking about /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Is that the right file to be modifying for ispconfig? Code: <Directory /var/www/*/web> Options +Includes +Indexes AllowOverride None AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo Order allow,deny Allow from all <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Deny from all </Files> </Directory> <Directory /var/www/*/user/*/web> Options +Includes +Indexes AllowOverride None AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo Order allow,deny Allow from all <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Deny from all </Files> </Directory> Are there supposed to be two AllowOverrides? I'm not sure that's standard syntax for apache but could be wrong...
Yes, if thats your main apache configuration file. They are for two different directories, one for the websites and the second for the user websites. The syntax is correct for both. You can try to change: <Directory /var/www/*/web> Options +Includes +Indexes AllowOverride None AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo Order allow,deny Allow from all <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Deny from all </Files> </Directory> to: <Directory /var/www/*/web> Options +Includes +Indexes AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Deny from all </Files> </Directory> and restart apache.
Are you sure that you access the website in the correct directory and that you access it trough the domain and not trough the IP address? Has this website existed on the server before you installed ISPConfig?
yes. directory is correct. I'm having this problem with every site. I can not use .htaccess on any. not using IP using domain. (IP wouldn't work with virtual hosting.) this site did not exist before. this is a clean install of FC5 with ispconfig using the perfect setup.
LOL. Yeah. Wouldn't do much good to have a new config if you didn't load it eh...? (Though I've made that mistake in my past... *smirks*)

I even manually restarted httpd.
Add an Options line before the AllowOverride line. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride
Adding the Options directive to the <directory> structure curcumvents the need for an .htaccess file. The AllowOverride directive is what allows apache to search for .htaccess to see if the commands in the .htaccess are allowed to override earlier config directives. It's more versatile. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options Options is not necessary in order to use AllowOverride. You should be able to place AllowOverride in directory and then use .htaccess for Options. I don't think it's an ISPconfig issue because it's showing up in the vhosts. I'm just not sure why apache isn't seeing it. I'll debug and see what I can find out.
