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...
Just for future reference...
I seem to have beaten this by writing my own .conf file (called AjaXplorer.conf in this case) and then added an additional Include directive in httpd.conf (below the Include for Shares.conf).
I noticed that Shares.conf seems to always get overwritten at each reboot, however httpd.conf does not get overwritten (probably the reason for separating them in the first place!)
My special .conf file contains the same lines as the relevant portion of Shares.conf, but with Options Indexes changed to Options -Indexes.
Trying to browse the directories now gives a 403 Forbidden message, which is what I wanted.
My solution seems to have survived a reboot.
