Below is a piece of my Apache2 configuration.

In the main root is taken a fancy dir that allows me to have a graphical appearance a little nicer, the code is all in the fancy-index folder and is executed with the .htaccess file.

The configuration allows me to access my Apache service via browser, and when I click on the Oreo or Private folders, it closes my password.

Unfortunately, as you can see in the first part of the configuration, there is AllowOverride none that does not allow me to execute the .htaccess file.

Can you help me understand how I can execute the .htaccess file in the presence of AllowOverride none?

  • The purpose of AllowOverride is to choose which directives can be overridden in an .htaccess file. Any reason you can't update the AllowOverride to another value? Can you explain a bit more about your setup? Also, what do you mean by "closes my password"? Do you mean it's prompting for a password? – Dan Jun 30 '25 at 08:52
