Installing htaccess in a new directory

Hello,

I currently have htacess installed in my main directory - which seems to
work fine.

I created a new directory which I am attempting to use as a file server. The
new directory called fileserver which is in the htdocs directory. So we have
http://myurl.com/fileserver/

I created an .htaccess file to generate the contents of the directory
(Options Indexes) but it doesn't seem to be responding.

Is it as simple as placing an .htaccess file in the directory or am I meant
to do something else? Is there anyway I could add the functionality for this
new directory to the .htcess file in my root directory?

anyone

Do you have "AllowOverride All" in the relevant directory container in
httpd.conf?

Yes

Don't think so

I'll have a look. What would the "AllowOverride All" statement do? Prevent
..htaccess files in other directories?
