Apache Web Server .htaccess File functional

Rumi, February 8, 2013

.htaccess is Apache's directory-level configuration file. It allows end user to configure authentication and other options without editing main httpd.conf file.

Make sure AccessFileName set to .htaccess

Search httpd.conf for AccessFileName directive. It defines name of the distributed configuration file:

# grep -i AccessFileName httpd.conf

Make sure users are allowed to use .htaccess file

What you can put in these files is determined by the AllowOverride directive. This directive specifies, in categories, what directives will be honored if they are found in a .htaccess file. If this directive is set to None, then .htaccess files are completely ignored. In this case, the server will not even attempt to read .htaccess files in the filesystem.

# grep -i AllowOverride httpd.conf

When this directive is set to All, then any directive which has the .htaccess Context is allowed in .htaccess files:

AllowOverride ALL

Save and close the file. Restart httpd:

# service httpd restart
