Hope you find your solution. I hate .htaccess. So I wrote this:

#!/bin/bash
cat >._apache2_dir_conf << EOF
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.load
Include /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/*.conf
ErrorLog $1/._apache2_dir_error.log
HostnameLookups Off
NameVirtualHost *:$2
ServerName joyeruc
Listen $2
PidFile $1/._apache2_pid

    ServerAdmin joyer@uc
    DocumentRoot $1
    
        Options FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride None
    
    
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride None
    
    ErrorLog $1/._apache2_dir_error.log
    LogLevel warn


EOF

#apache2 -k $3 -X -f $1/._apache2_dir_conf
apache2 -X -f $1/._apache2_dir_conf
