Apache : Illegal override option FileInfo
- by Kave
I have installed a new Ubuntu 12.04 Server and setup Apache and MySQL.
I am just trying to replicate what I have in my current server and came across one single problem. - FileInfo
Within these two files below:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default-ssl
/etc/apache2/sites-available/default
I need to add some overrides for the apache server.
Original:
<Directory /var/www/MySite>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
New:
<Directory /var/www/MySite>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride FileInfo, Indexes
Order allow,deny
allow from all
</Directory>
I have installed the following mods for Apache:
sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ -y
sudo apt-get install apache2.2-common apache2-utils openssl openssl-blacklist openssl-blacklist-extra -y
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl -y
sudo apt-get install php5-tidy -y
sudo apt-get install php5-gd -y
sudo apt-get install php-apc -y
sudo apt-get install memcached -y
sudo apt-get install php5-memcache -y
sudo a2enmod ssl
sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo a2enmod headers
sudo a2enmod expires
sudo a2enmod php5
So When I do a restart with AllowOverride None, its all ok.
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2 ... waiting [OK]
But as soon as I change the AllowOverride to FileInfo, Indexes
Syntax error on line 11 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:
Illegal override option FileInfo,
Action 'configtest' failed.
The Apache error log may have more information.
...fail!
I can't see anything unusual in the error.log

I get that warning because its a test server, nonetheless I get the same warning with AllowOverride None and yet it restarts the Apache server correctly. Therefore this warning should be harmless.
Have I missed something?
Thanks,
