.htaccess file not being read (“Options -Indexes” in .htaccess file not working)

Question

I created an .htaccess file with only the following line:

Options -Indexes

However, the index is still shown for the directory.<

Answer 1

Also, beside changing AllowOverride All to the vhost configuration file, you may also need to add the following at the beginning of the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

Otherwise may still not detecting the rewrites or redirects.
