FC5. Just trying to figure out how to use .htaccess with ISPconfig. Everything I've found in the forums so far hasn't worked.

I added:

Code:

<Directory /var/www/web15/web/>
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

to the Apache Directives field and checked and verified that it was in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/Vhosts_ispconfig.conf so it should be working right? Then all I should have to do is say... add Options +Indexes or whatever to a htaccess file and should work right? I check the error log and it shows "Directory index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/web15/web/" What am I doing wrong?

Normally it shold work like this. Have you tried to remove the slash at the end of the path? If you want to allow this for all websites, you can change the ISPConfig default at the end of your apacahe.conf or apache2.conf file, there is a directory directive for /var/www/*/web

Tried both, neither worked. And WHY does the stupid index.html keep showing up in my web directory no matter how many times I delete it? GRRRRRRRRRRR.

p.s. I assumed you were talking about /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Is that the right file to be modifying for ispconfig?

Code:

<Directory /var/www/*/web>
    Options +Includes +Indexes
    AllowOverride None
    AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    <Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Deny from all
    </Files>
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/*/user/*/web>
    Options +Includes +Indexes
    AllowOverride None
    AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
    <Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Deny from all
    </Files>
</Directory>

Are there supposed to be two AllowOverrides? I'm not sure that's standard syntax for apache but could be wrong...

Yes, if thats your main apache configuration file.

They are for two different directories, one for the websites and the second for the user websites. The syntax is correct for both.

You can try to change:

<Directory /var/www/*/web>
Options +Includes +Indexes
AllowOverride None
AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Deny from all
</Files>
</Directory>

to:

<Directory /var/www/*/web>
Options +Includes +Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Deny from all
</Files>
</Directory>

and restart apache.

Tried that. no change. Suggestions?

Are you sure that you access the website in the correct directory and that you access it trough the domain and not trough the IP address? Has this website existed on the server before you installed ISPConfig?

And did you restart apache?

falko · #8 3rd January 2007, 17:42

What's in Vhosts_ispconfig.conf?

yes. directory is correct. I'm having this problem with every site. I can not use .htaccess on any. not using IP using domain. (IP wouldn't work with virtual hosting.) this site did not exist before. this is a clean install of FC5 with ispconfig using the perfect setup.
