[gargonzo]

folks. trying to get mod rewrite to work so we can convert cgi to html. We are on a RAQ3, and it seems the htaccess file is not working...

even a basic htaccess with a redirect inside it does not work.. is there any info about getting htaccess to workin a raq3? or does anyone have any advice/help..

access.conf has this:

Did you install the mysql_auth module in apache? I have seen in other posts that all htaccess are override by this module, so if you want to use a htaccess auth and you have it installed you need to add this line to htaccess:

AuthMySQL off
or
Auth_MySQL off

Also remember to always upload .htaccess files in Ascii Mode

When you chaned the AllowOveride Command to All

did you restart apache?
