[.htassecc] Problem with configuration

Hello,

I'm working with Xampp on Windows XP.
I use Apache for testing websites with php.
Because i cannot change the httpd.conf of my Websiteprofider i also on
my machine only use the .htaccess for making configuration.
Now my Problem:
I develop my pages in a different directory then the apache directory.
Apache is installed under: "D:/Programme/XAMPP"
The standard documentroot is: "D:/Programme/XAMPP/htdocs"

I have configured a virtual host:

NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "D:/Programme/XAMPP/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mywebseite.invalid
DocumentRoot "D:/Daten/Entwicklung/HTML/SDN"
ErrorLog logs/mywebseite.invalid.error.log
CustomLog logs/mywebseite.invalid.access.log common
</VirtualHost>

I habe a .htaccess file in the root of the website:

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .html .htm

Now, if i try my webseite with "mywebseite.invalid" the php-Code in the
index.html isn't processed.

When i copy the hole webseite under: "D:/Programme/XAMPP/htdocs/SDN" und
try it with "localhost/sdn" it works perfect and the .htaccess has the
effect that i expect.

Can somebody help me?

Regards

Martin

Check you have AllowOverride set for this other directory.
See: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride" target="_blank">http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride</a>

You may already have one in your config to allow it for your document root tree,
but not one for the other directory tree.

Failing that, do your logs show anything?
