Summary

0002441: Web server -> allow .htaccess overrides causes "forbidden" error with RewriteEngine ON

Description

Just tested the new 6.6.0 Beta 2. Overall, it's looking pretty solid so far.

"allow .htaccess overrides" is the default
It's common in web apps to use RewriteEngine in .htaccess

This error was seen as the default site and on an add-on site. tiki-check.php confirms that mod_rewrite is loaded.

Thanks!

Steps To Reproduce

* Fresh install of ClearOS 6.6 Beta 2
* Install Web & MySQL apps
* Install Tiki
* The Tiki installer will add a symbolic link from .htaccess to _htaccess and it crashes there. Even if _htaccess is renamed to .htaccess, the error persists.

As a reference, see the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/HEAD/tree/branches/12.x/_htaccess [^]

Changing RewriteEngine ON to RewriteEngine OFF in .htaccess prevents the error message.
