.htaccess Not Working With AllowOverride All
Quote:
A good test for this is to put garbage in your .htaccess file and reload. If a server error is not generated, then you almost certainly have AllowOverride None in effect.
Source: Apache.org

The .htaccess file is not read by the server based the test above and the lack of change in the operation of the server.

httpd.conf
Code:
<Directory />
    Options None
    AllowOverride All
    # Initially this was set to None and I would prefer it be again, just testing
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
</Directory>

AccessFileName .htaccess

Include default-server.conf

default-server.conf

Code:
<Directory "/dir/dir/dir/dir">
    AllowOverride All
    Options All
</Directory>

The .htaccess file is r by the web server user and group and exists in the correct directory.

Anyone know why this file is not working?

Thanks!

Did you restart the server after modifications?

Yes, and confirmed the server was stopped / no processes before restarting.

check the apache logs to see if there are any relevant log entries. Do you get any errors when visiting a page in that directory or is the .htaccess just getting ignored? please post the contents of .htaccess so we can see what your trying to do.

Its just ignored. Here's the output from:

Code:
server:/var/log/apache2 # clear ; echo ACCESS ; tail -n 15  www.domain.com-access_log ; echo ERROR ; tail -n 15  www.domain.com-error_log

Code:

      # Force proxies to cache gzipped & non-gzipped css/js files separately.
      Header append Vary Accept-Encoding
    </FilesMatch>

</IfModule>

Above is the stock .htaccess file that ships with Drupal 7 (other than the first two lines which are intended to generate an error.)

Thanks for offering some suggestions...
