I'm using the Ubuntu stock install of Apach, but for some reason, .htaccess files are not having any effect, despite that AccessFileName is set to .htaccess. E.g., here's a .htaccess, and neither the auth nor rewrite stuff is working. In fact, I can just put gibberish into .htaccess, and no complaints come up. Any hints would be greatly appreciated -- thanks!
