Re: .htaccess doesn't pop up a window

Since we just went through this, I think
I can summarize the possible culprits.

1.  Permissions on index.html are too restrictive.
2.  Permissions on /home/user/public_html are too restrictive.
3.  Permissions on /home/user are too restrictive.
4.  The Apache config for "~" is not set to "public_html".
5.  The now famous linuxconf bug.  Did you config Apache through it?
    If you have a section in access.conf that begins with a line like:
       <Files ~ "^\.ht">
    ...remove the "^\.ht" part.
