Hey,

I'm trying to switch a site over from a server hosted by lunarpages to my own server. I recently installed Apache 2.2/php/mysql on this server... but have some configuration needing to be done.

My problem is that the server doesn't seem to be reading my .htaccess files. Here's the .htaccess code:
Code:
Options +Indexes
   IndexOptions FancyIndexing SuppressDescription SuppressHTMLPreamble
   HeaderName header.htm
   ReadmeName footer.htm
   IndexIgnore header.htm footer.htm .htaccess direclogo.gif


My goal is to add style to the auto-generated index pages.

I'm unsure of whether there is something set in my httpd.conf that is disabling or overruling the .htaccess. Also, there is a httpd-autoindex.conf in my conf/default directory. That reads:
Code:
#
# Directives controlling the display of server-generated directory listings.
#
# Required modules: mod_autoindex, mod_alias
#
# To see the listing of a directory, the Options directive for the
# directory must include "Indexes", and the directory must not contain
# a file matching those listed in the DirectoryIndex directive.
#

#
# IndexOptions: Controls the appearance of server-generated directory
# listings.
#
IndexOptions FancyIndexing HTMLTable VersionSort

Alias /icons/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/icons/"

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/icons">
    Options Indexes MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

# HeaderName is the name of a file which should be prepended to
# directory indexes.
ReadmeName README.html
HeaderName HEADER.html

#
# IndexIgnore is a set of filenames which directory indexing should ignore
# and not include in the listing.  Shell-style wildcarding is permitted.
#
IndexIgnore .??* *~ *# HEADER* README* RCS CVS *,v *,t


This is my first server i've set up... so everything is still very new to me.

If you guys have any ideas, i'd love to hear them.

Thanks.

You have: AllowOverride None, that means .htaccess files are completely ignored. The server will not even attempt to read .htaccess files in the filesystem.

See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride

Perfect. Worked like a charm. Thank you very much.

Do you know how to have icons show up as well for the directories?

Thanks.

If in the diretority is no index file Apache will create a list with the icons itself. example
or do you want to assosoate a specific file with an icon?

Well, i'm guessing i have something set in my httpd.conf that disables icons... just like i had the AllowOverride disabled.

When my pages are generated, no icons appear.

Do you guys know what might be the problem?

Thanks.
