[users@httpd] RewriteEngine directive
If I want to put Rewrite directives into specific <Directory> sections, do I have to put the RewriteEngine directive into each of the sections or can I put it somewhere else in the configuration file where I will not have to repeat it in each directory section.
Thanks for any help.

You probably put RewriteEngine on outside your virtual host, which is
indeed not inherited by this virtual host. You need to put it inside
the virtualhost. If you want to swithc it on in a directory section
you don't need to put it in each directory section. Directory sections
are merged, so you could conceivably put it in the root Directory
section. (I don't think it is usually a good idea to put rewritrules
in a directory context...)

Thanks for your reply. I actually read the documentation which is where I learned that I can put Rewrite directives in the directory section. My question is if there is any way to get around putting
RewriteEngine on
in each directory section. I have RewriteEngine on in the config file outside the directory section but this did not seem to be enough and I had to put it into the specific directory section.

In the documentation
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriteengine)
it says, for RewriteEngine:
"Context: server config, virtual host, directory, .htaccess"
So you can put it in your server config or virtual host.
General hint: If you are not sure where you can use a directive,
consult the apache documentation.
