apache2 /.htaccess: <IfModule not allowed here

elgachon

Hi everyone.

I have the error below in my error log of apache2:
/.htaccess: <IfModule not allowed here

I have not changed anything recently. It appeared "out of the blue".

My http.conf file does not have any IfModule directive.

I only have two .htaccess files but in two different apps.

UPDATE:
When I migrated the app from WebFaction I followed this guide in order to configure Django with Apache:
https://community.opalstack.com/d/18-howto-run-django-on-apache-and-mod-wsgi

If I run python manage. runserver <port> instead of apache then it works.

Any idea?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

SOLVED.

I added this to http.conf:

<Directory />
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>

Something had to be changed on the server becauses the app has been working without this for more than a year.

elgachon I don't believe we've changed anything on the server that would require you to change your Django app's httpd.conf.

If you run into this issue again then please provide the contents of the htaccess file mentioned in the original error message and we'll try to help you sort it out.

elgachon actually I just found another customer who had this same problem, so something may have changed. Not sure what just yet but I'll post back here if I find anything out.

elgachon There was a stray .htaccess file that was causing this to happen. The file has been deleted so you should be able to remove that extra config now.
