Apache's allowoverride parameters

The rewrite rule is usually written in the. htaccess file when the URL is rewritten using the Apache rewrite module. However, to enable Apache to read the contents of the. htaccess file properly, you must configure the directory where the. htaccess is located. From a security consideration, the AllowOverride property of the root directory is generally configured to not allow any override, i.e.
< Directory/>
AllowOverride None
</directory>

When AllowOverride is set to None, the. htaccess file is completely ignored. When this directive is set to all, any directives with the ". htaccess" Scope are allowed to appear in the. htaccess file.

For URL rewrite, at a minimum, you need to set the directory to
< directory/myblogroot/>
AllowOverride FileInfo
</directory>

parameters of the allowoverride :

authconfigallows the use of instructions related to certification authorizations (Authdbmgroupfile, Authdbmuserfile, AuthGroupFile, AuthName, AuthType, AuthUserFile, Require, etc.). FileInfodirectives that allow the use of control document types (DefaultType, ErrorDocument, Forcetype, languagepriority, SetHandler, Setinputfilter, Setoutputfilter, Mod_mime add* and remove* directives, etc.), instructions for controlling document metadata (Header, Requestheader, Setenvif, Setenvifnocase, Browsermatch, Cookieexpires, Cookiedomain, Cookiestyle, cookietracking, CookieName), mod_rewrite in the instructions (RewriteEngine, Action directives in Rewriteoptions, Rewritebase, Rewritecond, Rewriterule) and mod_actions. Indexesallows the use of commands that control the index of the directory (Adddescription, AddIcon, addiconbyencoding, Addiconbytype, DefaultIcon, DirectoryIndex, Fancyindexing, Headername, Indexignore, indexoptions, Readmename, etc.). Limitallows the use of commands that control host access (Allow, Deny, Order). options[=option,...]allows the use of commands (options and Xbithack) that control the functionality of the specified directory. You can append a comma-delimited list of options (no spaces) after the equals sign to control which options are allowed for the option directive.
