Hello to all, in https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44262 I was told to ask about this issue on dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but there was no answer so I'll ask here wat's the desired behaviour. In apache 1.3/2.0 there was no selection of whitch options can or can't be set in .htacess files. At some point in 2.2.x AllowOverride Options=[option1,...] was introduced. But I think it's a litle broken now. It was supposed to provide finegrained controll of which options one can set in .htacess files. First keyword 'All' isn't really all avaiable options. There are also OPT_INCNOEXEC, OPT_SYM_OWNER, OPT_MULTI which can be set in Options command in .htacess (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options). What can be overriden in .htacess files depending on AllowOverride directive and apache version. AllowOverride | 1.3/2.0.x | 2.2.x -----------------------+------------------------------------------------------- 'Options' | All + Multiviews and 2 others | only All 'Options=' | n/a | All + Multiviews and 2 others It bit me hard once because somehow Options Multiviews stoped to work. I'm not sure what AllowOverride Options= should mean, beside a syntax error. Please tell me what you think about it, and what desired behaviour whould be so I can giveup or file a separate bug. -- Michal Grzedzicki --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
