.htacces without function

[ingi]

Hallo,

we are newbies in setup our own dedicated server. We have installed an apache webserver and webmin to administrate. OS is Linux Debian. Our Problem:

We want to protect several directories. Our .htacess files work on other servers but not on our new one.
Something is wrong but we dont know.

Can someone help us?

Thanks Peter and Ingolf

In your httpd.conf file you should have a line similar to:

AccessFileName .htaccess

Hi,

yes this line is inour httpd file but it doesn' t work.

It may be that you're missing an AllowOverride directive:

[httpd.apache.org...]
=> AccessFileName
=> AllowOverride
