I am trying to enable mod_rewrite, and the results I'm getting do

that somebody more experienced can help me figure out what is going
on.
The environment is Windows XP, Apache 2.2.8, PHP 5.2.5. The
application I
am running is Drupal 6.2.
I made the following changes to httpd.conf in the conf directory:
1. Uncommented the "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so"
directive.
2. In a <Directory> block that refers to the Apache document
root (the
immediate parent of the application directory), changed
"AllowOverride None"
to "AllowOverride Limit".
When I restarted Apache and tried to run the application it would
not run,
and I got an Apache alert (in the error log) which said,
"applicationdirectory/.htaccess: order not allowed here".
When I changed "AllowOverride Limit" to "AllowOverride All", Apache
ran the
application without complaint.
There is a .htaccess file in the application directory, and it does
contain
an Order directive. But why does Apache object to this when
"AllowOverride
Limit" is in effect? If I understand the function of AllowOverwrite
correctly, that is the option that authorizes Order directives in the
.htaccess file. (See
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/core.html#allowoverride .)
Since "AllowOverride All" takes me where I want to go, I have a one
sense
solved my own problem. As a matter of good practice, though, I want
to
grant .htaccess the most restrictive permission that will permit it
to do
what it must do, and "All" is not it.
