Assuming the CGI problem in v. 5.6.8 is not easily solved, regarding that the thread has had plenty views but no responses, is there a way to make Apache ignore, skip or bypass my own .htacces files (got more than one site)? I don't need them locally, but putting them outside the htdocs folder is awkward, and creates problems with the synchronization between the different machines.

have a look to http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/mod/core.html#allowoverride

Problem solved! I had already found via an internet search that

Code: Select all

AllowOverride None

was the required setting, but it was already set that way. However, it appeared that it was overruled by a later setting. Setting that to 'none' as well solved it.

And thanks for the link to the Apache page. That did not show up on the first 20 Google results, but it made me look further down the httpd.conf. For XAMPP 5.6.8 however, here is the direct link to its Apache version: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html. 5.6.8 has Apache v. 2.4.

Thanks, WilliL!
