[Spip-maintainers] Bug#651164: spip: htaccess related message after configuration

[Olivier Berger]

Package: spip
Severity: normal


Hi.

After rolling the different dialogs of the installation through /spip/ecrire, I get the following warning (french message, see approx. translation below):

  Installation du système de publication...

  htaccess inopérant

  Avertissement: la configuration de votre serveur HTTP ne tient pas compte des fichiers .htaccess. Pour pouvoir assurer une bonne sécurité, il faut que vous modifiez cette configuration sur ce point, ou bien que les constantes _DIR_TMP & _DIR_CONNECT (définissables dans le fichier mes_options.php) aient comme valeur des répertoires en dehors de /var/www.

(htaccess not active : warning: the web server configuration doesn't take .htaccess into consideration. To keep it secure, you have to configure that or define the constants _DIR_TMP & _DIR_CONNECT, through mes_options.php, so that they point to outside /var/www).

I believe some configuration should be defined in the provided apache config or likes so that such warning doesn't occur.

Thanks in advance.
