Re: Error: [warn] Useless use of AllowOverride

["Mamta Singh" <mamta2.singh@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the quick reply. You are right AllowOverride should be in Directory context and I have that correctly in apache2.conf.

But it is also written in Location context in  mod_jk.conf which has generated automatically and because of which it is giving me warning. 

I don't understand why it is so as I didn't write anything it was autogenerated by tomcat.

Hi all,

I have apache2.2 and tomcat 5.5 installed. when ever i start apache server i got this warning:        [warn] Useless use of AllowOverride in line .....

I checked these line numbers are in mod_jk.conf file which has been auto-generated by  tomcat. These lines are:

   <Location "/servlets-examples/WEB-INF/*">
       AllowOverride None   => on this line
       deny from all
   </Location>

   <Location "/servlets-examples/META-INF/*">
       AllowOverride None   => on this line
       deny from all
   </Location>

...
Does any one have idea why I am getting this warning.

Yes - http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride shows that AllowOverride is only valid in a Directory context.  You're trying to use it in a location where it doesn't make sense.

HTH,

                               Neil.
