Can't disable .htaccess files in OpenSuse 11.2

English Network/Internet

I didn’t change httpd.conf after installation of apache2, so it looks like .htaccess-files are enabled by default, because if I generate a .htaccess-file with garbage in it, I find an “invalid command” for the .htaccess-file in the error.log.

I found an info in the apache2-docs, that I can disable .htaccess-files globally, if I set “AllowOverride” to “None”, but in httpd.conf it’s already “None” by default.

Can anyone tell me why .htaccess-files still work and how to disable it?

TIA, Tommy

Hi
That’s because there is probably a configuration file
in /etc/apache2/conf.d directory which requires it.

Hi malcolmlevis,

I checked all *.conf-files in /etc/apache2/ and /etc/apache2/conf.d/ with

cat <filename.conf> | grep AllowOverride

, but didn’t find anything else then “AllowOverride None”.
In my /etc/apache2/conf.d/ directory is a nagios.conf and a php5.conf.
Any other hints?

Thanks, Tommy

Hi
Your looking for htpasswd and for nagios (albeit on SLES) it’s there;


AuthUserFile /etc/nagios/htpasswd.users
