ExecCGI CGI programs are permitted in this directory, even if it
is not a directory defined in the ScriptAlias
directive.
MultiViews This is part of the mod_negotiation module. When
a client requests a document that can’t be found, the
server tries to figure out which document best suits the
client’s requirements. See
http://localhost/manuals/mod/_mod_negotiation.html for
your local copy of the Apache documentation.
NOTE
These directives also affect all subdirectories of the specified directory.
AllowOverrides Directives
The AllowOverrides directives specify which configuration options
.htaccess files can override. You can set AllowOverrides
individually for each directory. For example, you can have different standards
about what can be overridden in the main document root and in UserDir
directories. This capability is particularly useful for user directories, where
the user does not have access to the main server configuration files.
AllowOverrides can be set to All or any combination of Options,
FileInfo, AuthConfig, and Limit. These options are explained in
Table 25.3.

Switch Description

Options directive for this directory.
