    I'm running Apache 2.2 on the Debian testing distro, and every time I try to put "Options -Indexes" or "Options +FollowSymLinks" or anything like that i get this in the error log:

    /var/www/tomdalling.com_redesign/.htaccess: Option Indexes not allowed here
    Code (markup):
    or

    /var/www/tomdalling.com_redesign/.htaccess: Option FollowSymLinks not allowed here
    Code (markup):
    It works fine when I upload it to the proper host of the website, but I can't work out why I keep getting "500 - server error" on my local computer. Any ideas?
