Why does nothing happen when I set up a users web page with .htaccess override?

There are two problems: First it appears that the using a .htaccess file to overide options does not work. On the User Web Pages tab you can allow .htaccess override, but when you have a .htaccess in the user's public_html directory it does nothing. One reason is it does not get to the .htaccess file and when it does, it does not use any of the overrides specified.

The second problem is that is does not get the the user's .htaccess file, and that is because of the configuration setup in /var/conf/users/apache/access.conf. In the Directory directive is has AllowOverride None, which makes it unable to get to the user's .htaccess.

This appears to happen on linux and freebsd.

It appears that is a Apache security issue. When using the Directory directive and trying to match for a regular expression, it appears to ignore the .htaccess file in that directory. This is true for user web pages, but also it is true a regular web site was matched as a regular expression. But, seeing that for the regular web sites we give the absolute path, .htaccess works fine.

Please install the update package RH52Pv2.0U1.
