Hi there here is my server configuration:

apache2.conf:667:AccessFileName .httpdoverride

All the AllowOverride statements in my apache2/ folder.

mods-available/userdir.conf:16:               AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit

If i change any Allow from all in Deny from all , it works whenever i put it.

I've got one .htaccess at /mysite.com/.htaccess & one at /mysite.com/test/.htaccess with:

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all

Neither of them work i can still see my website. I've got mod_rewrite enabled but i don't think it does anything here.

I've tried almost everything :/ It works on my local environnement (MAMP) but fails when on my Debian server.
