[users@httpd] virtualhost on localhost with .htaccess
Hi, on my local computer (localhost on windows 7) i installed Apache to use Joomla. I setup virtual host (\apache\conf\extra\httpd-vhosts.conf) and it works great. now for each virtual host, i would like to use a special .htaccess file, so i added: AccessFileName .htaccess here is an example of a virtualhost: DocumentRoot "d:/webserver/www/rogtek17" ServerName rogtek17.loc ServerAlias www.rogtek17.loc ErrorLog "logs/rogtek17.loc.error.log" CustomLog "logs/rogtek17.loc.access.log" common AccessFileName .htaccess AllowOverride AuthConfig FileInfo Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 1. is it correct or should i also update the standar httpd.conf file in the \apache\conf\ folder ? 2. How to be sure that it is well configured ? thx. -- Alain --- Windows 7 x64 / Fedora 14 x64 PostgreSQL 8.3.5 / MySQL 5 Apache 2.2.16 PHP 5.3.1 C# 2005-2008
Re: [users@httpd] virtualhost on localhost with .htaccess
I'll preface this with I'm not an expert but why not just put whatever you have in the htaccess file in your Directory section. Everything is in one place. I don't think you need to modify httpd.conf. If it works it's probably good.

Re: [users@httpd] virtualhost on localhost with .htaccess
That looks about right. The only reason (that I can think of) for using .htaccess files is if you want to devolve control of a virtualhost to the person who has write access to the documentroot (where you'd normally store the .htaccess file, thought they can also be used in subdirectories as well). This requires a degree of trust between you (the server owner) and the owner of the virtualhost, depending on which powers you give away. I run apache under my Windows XP, and have two or three virtualhosts, but they all belong to me, so I don't bother with .htaccess - but if you run into problems, I can tinker with my own system to help work out what you need to do. I'm somewhat familiar with htaccess from my www.swiftys.org.uksite, as that is hosted for me, and I'm obliged to configure it using .htaccess Incidentally, my main reason for using VirtualHosts is to intercept people who send requests to my IP address (81.2.123.82) rather than the hostname ( swiftys.org.uk). Requests to the IP *address* will go to the default VirtualHost, and that blocks all accesses.
