httpd allow overide?

John

Hi.

I am in the httpd file in the Apache folder and need to change the
part that says AllowOverride from None to All, so that when I create a
..htaccess file it wont ignore it.

However in the httpd file there are a few different sections where it
has found the AllowOverride code.

Do I change all of these sections below or just one of them?

Thanks

John

So, what directories do you intend to put your .htaccess files in?
In the icons directory? probably not.
In the Apache manual directory? probably not.
In the cgi-bin directory? maybe.
In all other directories without their own sections? Maybe, but that
already says "allowoverride all".
In another directory that has its own section, but which you didn't
show here? Probably.
