SOLVED Re: [Phpwiki-talk] root .htaccess file

[Carsten K. <car...@ma...>]

It turns out with Apache/1.3.22, PhpWiki's use of "<IfModule mod_php4.c>" 
in the '.htaccess' file is correct after all. The default 'httpd.conf' is 
very conservative, and so it does not permit "Options" overrides in 
'.htaccess' files.

The solution is to tell the server to allow "Options" overrides for the 
'phpwiki' directory, or if you're not too concerned about security, you 
can just enable it globally, like this:

# 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 None
      AllowOverride Options FileInfo

My server was already configured to allow "FileInfo" overrides, so I just 
added "Options".

I found this solution on the PHP web site:
