DO NOT REPLY [Bug 50176] New: Apache Tutorial: .htaccess files Troubleshooting section misleading to diagnose AllowOverride None

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=50176

           Summary: Apache Tutorial: .htaccess files Troubleshooting
                    section misleading to diagnose AllowOverride None
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.3-HEAD
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Documentation
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: chealer@gmail.com


The Troubleshooting section of the .htaccess page at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/howto/htaccess.html#troubleshoot contais:


When you put configuration directives in a .htaccess  file, and you don't get
the desired effect, there are a number of things that may be going wrong.

Most commonly, the problem is that AllowOverride is not set such that your
configuration directives are being honored. Make sure that you don't have a
AllowOverride None in effect for the file scope in question. 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.


In fact, a server error is not generated on reload, but when trying to access
the directory where AllowOverride None would be set. I had fixed my
AllowOverride problem, but as I didn't get any error, I thought I didn't.
