new server, and htaccess file doesn't work?

how do I fix that?

[Craig_F]

I'm still real new to having my own server, and I just noticed that my htaccess files that worked fine on my old virtual hosts, don't work at all on the virtual host I created on the server. I assume there something I need to set to make it work, but have no idea what, can someone give me a clue? I'm using WebMin if that matters. TIA!

The requirements for mod_rewrite execution are outlined in the documentation, following the description of RewriteRule flags. You'll need Options +FollowSymLinks or Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch enabled. In order to use Options, you'll need to have AllowOverride Options enabled in httpd.conf. I don't know how that translates to WebMin settings, though.
