To avoid unneccasery lookups for .htaccess I used <Directory /> AllowOverride None <Directory> in 1.2.x config. Then to allow FileInfo overriding in .htaccess in user home directories I used <Directory ~ ^/home/.*/web> AllowOverride FileInfo <Directory> But in 1.3.3 this doesn't work. In http://www.apache.org/docs/sections.html I found: --------- How the sections are merged The order of merging is: 1.<Directory> (except regular expressions) and .htaccess done simultaneously (with .htaccess overriding <Directory>) 2.<DirectoryMatch>, and <Directory> with regular expressions 3.<Files> and <FilesMatch> done simultaneously 4.<Location> and <LocationMatch> done simultaneously --------- I think here is some broken logic because <DirectoryMatch ...> and <Directory ~ ...> can be used to allow overriding in .htaccess. But with existing merging order it can be done. with best regads, Igor Sysoev >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
