Thanks for the quick reply. You are right AllowOverride should be in Directory context and I have that correctly in *apache2.conf.*
But it is also written in Location context in *mod_jk.conf *which has generated automatically and because of which it is giving me warning. I don't understand why it is so as I didn't write anything it was autogenerated by tomcat. On Tue, Apr 8, 2008 at 10:18 AM, Neil A.
