.htaccess stopped working

Since I installed ISPConfig, my .htaccess files are no longer effectual.

There is no part of the .htaccess that is applied in any case and it has compromised (albeit loose) security.

Is there something I can do about this? Let me know if you need further info.

Thanks -

 

At the end of your main Apache configuration file (httpd.conf or apache2.conf) you find some entries made by the ISPConfig installer. They are referring to the directories where ISPConfig installs web sites. You might have to change some options there.

 

Fixed. In /etc/apache/httpd.conf:

was:

Code:

<Directory />
    Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

#<Directory /var/www/>
#    Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
#    AllowOverride All
#    Order allow,deny
#    Allow from all
#</Directory>

is now:

Code:

<Directory />
    Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Fixed. *shrug*
