Where are settings to enable htaccess?

htaccess enable

[zuze]

I am working on website for a smaller company that has their own server.

.htaccess files that I placed in various directories are not responding in any way due to not being enabled in apache server configuration.

I do not have any server administrator knowledge and do not know where to look and what to look for, nor anyone else does.

Can anyone here advise me on this subject?

Thank you in advance.

The two most likely settings directives you might need are AllowOverride and Options -- both in Apache core [httpd.apache.org].
