Add allowoverride all in httpd.conf

To solve a mod_rewrite problem

[Stex]

Can someone tell me how I can attatch allowoverride all to the mod_rewite module in httpd.conf?

Explaining further:
I'm having exactly the same problem as described here: [webmasterworld.com...] . However, being a novice at all things Apache, I don't know how to set up the solution that was reported to work in my httpd.conf file. Can anyone give me the code I need to insert or an overview of the syntax please?

Here's a good place to start: [httpd.apache.org...]

Hi there.
Thanks for your answer, I tried going through that page but I obviously didn't grasp the principle quite right. My Apache service will re-start now but mod_rewrite still doesn't happen.

Here's the code I used:

<Directory path/to/htdocs/ >
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

That's probably compleately wrong but at least I took a shot at it :p
