The only difference between a user's directory and the main document root is that the document root is configured on the DocumentRoot directive and gets whatever settings that are made for it. Overrides are as necessary for that directory as any other user directory if the setting is needed to make something happen. AuthConfig happens to not be allowed by default, and so needs to be allowed. ////jerry > > After doing so and restarting Apache, I was unable to find the file.
