Re: Allowing users access to their websites (Possibly OT?)

I have experienced something similar with applications that ship
.htaccess files to override parameters for the web server and / or
PHP. These .htaccess files override the settings for your WebDAV
connections.

I ended up creating a virtual host for the WebDAV with a separate
domain name and turned allow override off.

This mostly has worked fine for years (Since FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE), but I occasionally have weird problems with webdav (especially with things like Drupal or WordPress installed), so I am looking for another solution.
