.htaccess not working [solved]

I think this is an apache issue, but I have a .htaccess file with

Code: Select all

<FilesMatch "\.ini$"> Deny from all </FilesMatch>

in it. However, I can still browse to my conf.ini contents. Can anyone quickly explain to me how to tell Apache to obey the .htaccess file?

If it helps, My mySQL database and Apache server are on my mythtv server. As I had that machine built and turned on all the time, and it already had mySQL, Apache, and php already installed, I just added my database to it, and put xataface there as well.

Hi,

You’ll need to have “AllowOverride” option set in your httpd.conf (within the section for your site) e.g.

Code: Select all

<Directory "/var/www/html/yoursite"> AllowOverride All </Directory>

Once it’s in and you reload the config, .htaccess will be honoured.
