Hey Group, I'm using apache 2.0.52, PHP 4.3.10_2,1 ( freebsd ), and drupal 4.5.1

drupal is installed to a virtual host directory ( /usr/local/ncgun ) and configured as such in httpd.conf In httpd.conf I have the directory set up as such:

<Directory "/usr/local/ncgun2/"> Options All AllowOverride Options Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>

With NO .htaccess file, everything works, but looking at the file, I see thats a security issue.

If I comment OUT the following in .htaccess, the install will work:

<Files ~ "(.(conf|inc|module|pl|sh|sql|theme|engine|xtmpl)|Entries|Repositories|Root|scripts|updat es)$"> order deny,allow deny from all </Files>

Options -Indexes Options +FollowSymLinks ErrorDocument 404 /index.php DirectoryIndex index.php <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine on RewriteBase /usr/local/ncgun2 </IfModule>

Thus, a working .htaccess file for me looks as such:

<IfModule sapi_apache2.c> php_value register_globals 0 php_value track_vars 1 php_value short_open_tag 1 php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0 php_value magic_quotes_runtime 0 php_value magic_quotes_sybase 0 php_value arg_separator.output "&amp;" php_value session.cache_expire 200000 php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 200000 php_value session.cookie_lifetime 2000000 php_value session.auto_start 0 php_value session.save_handler user php_value session.cache_limiter none php_value allow_call_time_pass_reference On </IfModule>

Any idea what I have configured incorrectly that is preventing me from using the other variables in .htaccess?

Michael
