[BlueOnyx:01762] Re: protecting directory

[Alan Kline]

Lars--

I'm glad you mentioned that! I'd been tearing out what little is left of my hair,
trying to get the .htaccess file that comes with Joomla to work. I'd been getting
nothing but 500 config errors if I left the .htaccess in there. I checked "All"
under AllowOverride, and that's what I needed...

I activated the AllowOverride File Info in the management console, because I read this would be enough for using mod_rewrite.
