Re: mkdir permissions and AllowOverride

If you are running some version of *nix, you can either add user nobody to the group the DocumentRoot belongs to, or you can use chown to change the owner of this directory to nobody. > There is a default line in the httpd.conf that has AllowOveride set to > None. If I change this to AllowOverride to All, will that fix the > problem? Is that recommended? No, this Apache option has nothing to do with Apache/PHP being able to write to files or directory. It governs which Apache options can be overriden in sub directories.
