This is the default for a RHEL5 / CentOS5 installation. Is anyone able to use strace to confirm that this either happens or does not happen in their installation: Commands: strace -f -e trace=file /usr/sbin/httpd Output: stat64("/var/www/html/dir/subdir/file.html", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=48, ...}) = 0 ... open("/var/www/html/dir/subdir/file.html/.htaccess", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOTDIR (Not a directory) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
