Mod_ReWrite Questions....
 

Anyone here know how to set up mod_rewrite? It's already set to load in my httpd.conf, but when I stick an .htaccess somewhere, it just bypasses. Or is that normal for local requests?

Change 'AllowOverride None' to 'AllowOverride All' in access.conf. Or you can set 'All' for just one directory, for example:

<Directory full/path/to/desired/dir>
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from none
allow from all
</Limit>
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

And even better - set up .htaccess rules between <directory></directory>... this is even faster than .htaccess file! Btw.. <limit> directives are optional.

Actually, this ver. recommends all directives to be in httpd.conf and leave access.conf empty, but are you saying I have to set up .ht rules for each directory I wanna cover in the virtual container?? Or can I do a blanket directive for the root and if it finds an .htaccess then so be it?

Just one directive for the whole site can be enough. But if you want to have some directories with .htaccess and some without, then you must make separate 'directory' entries.

for example

<Directory /home/whatever/*>

</Directory>

will do that directory and everything under it

Sweeeeeeeeeeet.
I jacked my httpd.conf up a few times fuckin' around with it, (was tryin' to put too many directives in at the same time.)
but I finally nailed it down.

I really like this. http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/biggrin.gif
And no .htaccess for anyone to even try to hack.
