MacOSXs Apache ignoriert in der default Einstellung .htaccess Dateien. Wer dem Abhilfe schaffen möchte ändere in /private/etc/httpd/httpd.conf `
This controls which options the .htaccess files in
directories can override. Can also be
"All",`
` # or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo",
"AuthConfig", and "Limit"
AllowOverride None `
in zB AllowOverride All
dann in den User dirs (/private/etc/httpd/users/name.conf) ebenfalls ändern in
AllowOverride All
