I have to move between more computers often so I have made some kind of "portable" WAMP folder structure. I just copy my wamp folder to another pc and everything works without tweaking any config files. Well, I lied. One thing does not work. I have a line in httpd.conf: DocumentRoot "../../www/public/" Code (markup): it is ok, I checked through a Web browser. But I have also this default (and I would like to leave it as is for security reasons): # First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of # features. # <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> Code (markup): And If I want to allow .htaccess files with some overrides to work, I have following: <Directory "../../www/public/ovfolder/"> AllowOverride All </Directory> Code (markup): Bad news: this does not work! I cannot override anything in .htaccess if the folder "ovfolder". But it works fine if I give a full path to "ovfolder". Maybe I am doing something wrong? Could you please explain, how can I "AllowOverride All" for a folder in a relative path? Thanks.
