After installing www-apps/mythweb-0.19 it works ok when accessing over http but failes when accessing over https. Adding the lines --- snip --- <Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> --- snap --- to the file /etc/apache2/modules.d/41_mod_ssl.default-vhost.conf brings mythweb to function. (it now uses the settings in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/.htaccess for https access, not only for http access. I am using net-www/apache-2.0.55-r2.
This is an issue with the default apache2 default SSL vhost config file. I however don't see them changing this.
cardoe is correct. We don't be changing these options. The defaults are designed to be as secure as possible. If you need less security, you have to define it yourself.
