.htaccess

[Remco]

Hello Scott

You need to tell apache that he may use the .htaccess files
You do this by changing the line AllowOveride .... to AllowOveride All
This is done in the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file on the document root of your webpages.

Grtz,Remco

here is an example of the lines you have to change
In your httpd.conf there is a few lines like this:

Directory "/var/www/html">

#
# This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
# "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews".
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
#    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    Options All

#
# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo",
# "AuthConfig", and "Limit"
#
    AllowOverride All

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
