Sorry if I've missed it, but are you saying you added a <Directory>
block to .htaccess?
If you have done so, that'll be your problem, the scope of
<Directory> is "server config, virtual host" according to the docs:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#directory
If you don't have access to Apache's httpd.conf, I'd suggest you
forget about this, but if you do, I think you'd find that "Options
Fileinfo" will already be set (you can use .htaccess files, and I'd
consider Fileinfo to be of lower risk to the admin).

Re: [users@httpd] htaccess problem - apache 2.0.36, php 4.1.2
Posted by Tib <ti...@tigerknight.org>.
Gallery complains about two things in relation to the htaccess file. If
you like you can check out www.tigerknight.org/~tib/gallery/setup/ to see
it yourself if that would help, but here's the two things it complains
about (note that gallery still functions adequately, but not at 100%):
1.
Allow the Gallery .htaccess file to set application specific configuration
options for the Gallery application. This is controlled by the webserver
owner so it's not always possible for you to change it. The main drawbacks
to not having this are that you may not be able to upload files > 2MB (eg,
big ZIP files) and you may not be able to use mod_rewrite (see below).
Warning!
Apache is not obeying your .htaccess file. Try entering the following into
your web server's httpd.conf file:
<Directory /home/tib/public_html/gallery>
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>
2.
Check to see if your webserver is compiled with mod_rewrite. Mod_rewrite
allows the Gallery to use shorter URLs that are easier to read and look
nicer when you mail them to your web-challenged relatives. It's not an
essential feature.
Warning!
Either mod_rewrite is not installed or your .htaccess file is not enabled
(see above). Either way, we'll have to use longer URLs in the Gallery. If
you want to turn it on I'd suggest that you make sure that your .htaccess
file works and then if it still doesn't work you may need to reconfigure
and rebuild Apache with this flag:
--enable-module=rewrite
--------------------------
Mod-rewrite was directly built into the httpd binary, as it is a function
that gets used regularly by some of the other programs I use.
The directory blocks you asked about are as follows:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
This one has always been like this (above), I am fairly inexperienced with
some specific functions like the allow override directives and such.. so I
don't mess with them much.
<Directory "/home/tib/public_html/gallery">
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>
This is what Gallery asked me to put in httpd.conf if the setup url was
complaining about not having proper htaccess abilities. But when I did, I
got the following 500 error:
Error message:
/home/tib/public_html/gallery/setup/.htaccess: Invalid command 'php_flag',
perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server
configuration
Hope this helps, I appreciate your time. :]

Does Gallery work correctly if you *don't* assign it a specific
Directory block with those options set?
Also, what Options do you have set for the overall config , ie: do
you have AllowOverride All set at the level of the webroot? If this
is the case, you don't need to worry about Gallery having a separate
block.
If possible, could you copy and paste the relevant Directory blocks
etc from your config please?
Thanks.

Nope, I added the directory block to httpd.conf. It's my server.
