[BlueOnyx:02904] Re: SEO, htaccess files, and Joomla on BlueOnyx

[Alan Kline]

I had that problem when I built my Joomla site. I had to go into the GUI 
and enable AuthConfig, FileInfo, and Indexes overrides in the Allow 
Override section of the server Web Settings tab. It's a server-wide 
setting, so I can't answer the question of whether or not it's a good 
idea in your situation...
