.htaccess in upper directories being ignored

  • 772

I have a .htaccess file in /var/www/html/htc directory with specific rules to bookmatic.net and another .htaccess file with general rules to all domains in /var/www/html

When accesing bookmatic.net, the .htaccess file in /htc is running good, but the one in /html is being ignored. Can anyone help?

bookmatic.net specs in httpd.conf are like this:

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName bookmatic.net
    ServerAlias *.bookmatic.net
    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/htc
    AllowEncodedSlashes On

    <Directory /var/www/html/htc>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
        LimitRequestBody 25000000
        LimitXMLRequestBody 25000000
    </Directory>

    RewriteEngine on
</VirtualHost>
.htaccess

  1. AllowOverride All is the directive that tells Apache to look in .htaccess files for more configuration.

    That vhost tells Apache to look for .htaccess files in /var/www/html/htc and deeper so it doesn't cover the .htaccess file in /var/www/html.

    One way to solve this would be to create another block like this (possibly in httpd.conf rather than this vhost if that makes more sense):

    <Directory /var/www/html>
     AllowOverride All
</Directory>

  2. You have AllowOverride All for <Directory /var/www/html/htc>. I suppose it's not allowed in /var/www/html. You could try:

    <Directory /var/www/html>
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>
