AllowOverride None the .htaccess files are ignored, see http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41760 ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 89.55.0.30 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.general.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74311 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74311/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74311/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74311/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74311/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74311/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74311/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74311 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74311 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
