Enable htaccess error on Ubuntu 12.04 with Apache2
13,555
I think you need to change this part of your /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
DocumentRoot /var/www/abc.biz
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/abc.biz/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
to
DocumentRoot /var/www/abc.biz
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/abc.biz/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
Because at first <Directory /> AllowOverride All
you allow to override settings with your .htaccess file for the whole apache, but also you need to change it at <Directory /var/www/abc.biz/> AllowOverride All
for your specific host directory, where your web site is placed.
Also you should check .htaccess files placed in your /var/www/abc.biz directory to be correctly writen, because when you enable .htaccess files to override global apache settings wrong .htaccess file causes such error.

I tried to enable htaccess. I changed:
<Directory /var/www/abc.biz/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory>
To:
<Directory /var/www/abc.biz/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory>
But I'm getting 500 (Internal Server) error. Why?
Here is my
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
file:<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin [email protected] DocumentRoot /var/www/abc.biz <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/abc.biz/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/ <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg.
