i have the latest apache 2.2.x running on a freebsd 6.2 box. THe root directory was changed to /usr/smb/some-directory rather than the default root dir of /usr/local/www/data to accomidate the use of samba 3. In short the owner wants the ability to drag & drop files onto the web server from his windows desktop using windows shares. the server is on a internal network so security isnt so much of an issue. Anyway He also wanted the root dir to be password protected...for some reason .htaccess files dont seem to be read by apache when outside of /usr/local is there a way to cure this while keeping the web server root dir of /usr/smb/somediretory ??
You are probably looking for the AllowOverride directive. But I doubt that you really want to use .htaccess at all.
