RE: [cobalt-security] Restricting access to certain file types HELP!

["Ervin Tarkhanian" <ervin@xxxxxxxxxx>]

HI Gareth,

I checked the access.conf & srm.conf files, this is what I have for all the
sites

<Directory /home/sites/site#>
AllowOverride All
Options All
</Directory>

Options All, doesn't this mean the redirect should work?

TIA
Ervin

HELP!

Check your logs, access.conf and srm.conf, you probably haven't allowed such
a command to be used in your .htaccess file
It will be in the Options directive.
