All of my previous .htaccess files do not work now after upgrading to the latest xampp pack. They seem to allow access to previously password protected areas.

What has changed in the setup thats causing this ?

Thanks

Open httpd.conf
find this line

Code: Select all

#
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride None

Replace with

Code: Select all

#
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride All

Thanks alot. Works like a charm.
