[dokuwiki] Re: Security details on installation

I know, I'm talking to myself, but this will probably help clarify a 
thing or two.

I really *do* know that the allowoverrides function is an apache 
function detailing what, if any, actions can be overridden in 
.htaccess. And I have confirmed that the allowoverrides function on 
our server is set to none. So I'm thinking that this is, indeed, the 
problem. 

But I'm still interested in hearing other thoughts.

Also, what sorts of security concerns for the server (if the 
allowoverrides setting in changed) might I expect to hear from the 
tech guru?
