PhP functions perfectly but apache is exhibiting weird directory and AllowOverride processing as well. Adding AllowOverride AuthConfig directives causes apache to search for non essential .htaccess files as well. kernel 2.2.16 Linux C Library 5.4.46 -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=9060&edit=1
