[Bug 276145] [NEW] Apace2 default configuration incorrect for allowoverride

[Nick Twigg]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apache2

The configuration file under /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default (or
000-default) is set up so that the allow override all setting wont work
when directories or files under /var/www are called as a site.

The values at install are :

DocumentRoot /var/www/
	<Directory />
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride all
	</Directory>
	<Directory /var/www/>
		Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
		AllowOverride none
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all
	</Directory>

Whereas, for mod_rewrite to work correctly, they should be

DocumentRoot /var/www/
	<Directory />
		Options FollowSymLinks
		AllowOverride All
	</Directory>
	<Directory /var/www/>
		Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all
	</Directory>

For the record, I have chaged the first and second AllowOverride to All.

The caps A seems to be *VERY* important.
