Enabling .htaccess
Hi, I've been trying to get .htaccess files working on my ReadyNAS, but Apache doesn't seem to be setup to do this by default. A .htaccess file on my server with just "RewriteEngine on" causes a 40...
I finally got this working after, thank you apache error log.
The problem was that the web share only had "Options Indexes" in the apache config file. It needed to be set to "Options All" for .htaccess to work. Though the block of code that needed to be edited wasn't in httpd.conf, it was in Shares.conf which was being called though an include in httpd.conf. The apache config files are found in /etc/frontview/apache.
Just thought I would share that for anyone else who has this issue seeing the ReadyNAS doesn't support .htaccess out of the box. At least not ours anyway.
