.htaccess

Ok, here it is htaccess is a directive file that will either be ignored or adhered to based on settings from apache directive configurations. We use it for directory security.

In webmin click show directives-> then manually edit the directives for the virtual directory of what you are serving on the web. Change AllowOverride None to AllowOverride AuthConfig this will tell apache to listen to the .htaccess files that you can place in your different web directories.
