centos 5.1 .htaccess not allowed

Can anyone tell me where to turn on the ability to use .htaccess with centos. I see some info on it else where but it has all been on os's other than centos.

thanks all....
happz!

 

not sure how to copy the contents of my error log but..

the error references the .htaccess file not being allow where it is. Where it is would be on the /web/.htaccess...which is where i needs to be but why or what do i need to do? Am i supposed to put the code in the ispconfig admin seciton of the site..under directives?..

update...here is the error message:
[Sun Mar 23 13:02:52 2008] [alert] [client 192.168.1.1] /var/www/web4/web/.htaccess: Options not allowed here
[Sun Mar 23 13:02:52 2008] [alert] [client 192.168.1.1] /var/www/web4/web/.htaccess: Options not allowed here

 

Okay. I added to directives and that didn't do anything

This question is to anyone that knows or to Till...

I found the the apache config file and made the change yet problem is still there. i restarted apache also...here is the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
Options +Followsymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.* - [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*/images/(.*)$ /images/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^.*/uploads_user/(.*)$ /uploads_user/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ /profile.php?user=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/blog/([0-9]+)/?$ /blog_entry.php?user=$1&blogentry_id=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/blog/([^/]+)?$ /blog.php?user=$1$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/blog/?$ /blog.php?user=$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/albums/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /album_file.php?user=$1&album_id=$2&media_id=$3 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/albums/([0-9]+)/?$ /album.php?user=$1&album_id=$2 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/albums/([0-9]+)/([^/]+)?$ /album.php?user=$1&album_id=$2$3 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/albums/?$ /albums.php?user=$1 [L]

with my VPS i would just drop this in the /www folder and it worked without a hitch. I am guessing the issue is with the / but not sure.

thanks!

 

Please add this to your Apache Directives field:

Code:

<Directory /var/www/web4/web>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

 

the master! thanks falko!

Yeap. Saved by falko again...

thanks!

 

Question about this directives field add...

Falko or anyone...my question is can i add this directive to the hosting plan itself rather than to the specified site i.e. (/var/www/web4/web) but instead something like this but in the "hosting plan" section- /var/www/*/web

Anyone?
