.htaccess problem on Ubuntu 7.04 server

Hey all this is my second message and my first message on how to questions so im sorry if im asking at wrong place

Problem: I cant use .htaccess files. I get "Cant find the page error."

What did i do?: Installed Ubuntu Server [7.04] with this guide , enabled rewrite mode with "a2enmod rewrite"

Any other problems?: No

 

Any errors in Apache's error log?

 

No errors but when i add a virtual host via webmin and change one line

Options +Includes +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

like this, problems gone and i can use htaccess but in my default virtual hosts file i couldnt do that. here is my default virtual host file.

Code:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
	
	DocumentRoot /home/yalcin/my/geldik/
	<Directory />
		Options +Includes +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
		AllowOverride None
	</Directory>
	<Directory /home/yalcin/my/geldik/>
		Options +Includes +FollowSymlinks -Indexes
		AllowOverride None
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all
		# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
                # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
                #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
	</Directory>

	ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
	<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
		AllowOverride None
		Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
		Order allow,deny
		Allow from all
	</Directory>

	ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

	# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
	# alert, emerg.
	LogLevel warn

	CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
	ServerSignature On

    Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
    <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

 

Why can't you do that in your default virtual hosts file?

 

i did as shown on my default configuration file but its not working

 

Is the default vhost handling the web site where you have the problem? I.e., did you add the configuration to the correct vhost?

 

i solved the problem this is my new configuration file

Code:

NameVirtualHost *
<VirtualHost *>
	ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
	
	DocumentRoot /home/yalcin/my/geldik/
	<Directory />
		Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
	</Directory>
	<Directory /home/yalcin/my/geldik/>
		Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
		# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
                # in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
                #RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
	</Directory>

	ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
	<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
		AllowOverride None
		Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
		Order allow,deny
		Allow from all
	</Directory>

	ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

	# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
