Apache2 does not enable htaccess

[Gorka]

I've put my .htaccess under /var/www with this lonely line ...

IndexIgnore *

... also there is in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default the following
content ...

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin ***@localhost

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

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
</VirtualHost>

... As you can see, I've already changed AllowOverride from None to All
But .htaccess doesn't seem to work yet. When I point to the url it lists
the whole content of /var/www
What's the matter? Any idea?

I forgot to say that, of course, I've done ...

a2ensite default
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload (even restart)

Put what you would have put inside .htaccess inside the appropriate
Directory directive inside the web server's configuration file. Remember
to reload. .htaccess is only for when you don't actually have write
access to the web server's configuration.

Actually I'd like to be able to get it work so. There must be an
explanation for this, but I can't see what's wrong with the way I'm doing.

Just the same problem with ...

php_value upload_max_filesize 100M

... in .htaccess

phpinfo() keeps on showing ...

upload_max_filesize 2M 2M

... for both local and master. In fact phpinfo() only changes if I
change this value directly on php.ini, but I would like to know why my
.htaccess is not working. Any idea over there?

Solved. By the time I created .htaccess file I was using Eclipse.
Eclipse aded the .php extension to the file and I didn't notice. Such a
big rookie mistake! I beg you pardon for the inconveniences. Thank you
anyway.
