Topic: .htaccess on SME Server 7.0pre3

[renee]

Hi,

I want to use .htaccess files for several reasons.

Can some tell me how to enable .htaccess on SME Server 7.0pre3?
The contrib e-smith-htaccess-1.1-2.noarch.rpm does not seem to work

See bottom of page http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/SME7Contribs

e-smith-htaccess-1.1-2.noarch.rpm (SME7 pre3) : install complained about wrong (old style) path and
problems with templates. After install, url rewritting do not work.

Thanks in advance.

I want to use .htaccess files for several reasons.

Why do you want to use .htaccess rather than a custom template fragment for httpd.conf?

Code: [Select]

/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop ibayname AllowOverride All
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event ibay-modify ibayname

Thanks Duncan.

Is this change permanent?
How can I change it back?

/sbin/e-smith/db accounts setprop ibayname AllowOverride None???

New problem

When I use "RewriteEngine On" in my htaccess file I get a:

Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /filename.php on this server.

Any suggestions?
