Apache2.1-HEAD or later has a bug with the directive "AllowOverride" with paramter "All" that affects Drupal installation.

This is an extract from a draft version commented .htaccess file I am writing.

# Locate the <Directory> section in your httpd.conf file.
# If you use virtual hosts each virtual host will (should!) have a <Directory> section.
# Only change the specific virtual host's settings for which you want to grant use of a .htaccess file.
#
# Include ONLY the directive "AllowOverride" with parameters as below in the <Directory> section
#
# For example:
#
# <Directory "/my/pathto/hosted/web_httpdocs">
# AllowOverride Indexes Limit Options
# </Directory>
#
# NOTE: If you use Apache2.1-HEAD the "All" parameter does not work correctly. Therefore use specific parameters
# See http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35330 for more detail.
