+ The default .htaccess file may not provide adequate access
+ restrictions, depending on your web server configuration.
+ Be sure to check the &lt;Directory&gt; entries for your
+ Bugzilla directory so that the <filename>.htaccess</filename>
+ file is allowed to override web server defaults. For instance,
+ let's assume your installation of Bugzilla is installed to
+ <filename>/usr/local/bugzilla</filename>. You should have
+ this &lt;Directory&gt; entry in your <filename>httpd.conf</filename>
+ file:

+ The important part above is <quote>AllowOverride All</quote>.
+ Without that, the <filename>.htaccess</filename> file created by
+ <filename>checksetup.pl</filename> will not have sufficient
+ permissions to protect your Bugzilla installation.
