Apache in Slackware 14.2: why 'AllowOverride AuthConfig Options' within <Directory "/var/www/htdocs">?
 
In .htaccess it should have 'Options + SymLinksIfOwnerMatch', but it only works if I leave 'AllowOverride All' within <Directory "/var/www/htdocs"> in /etc/httpd/httpd.conf.

I also tried AllowOverrideList but it says that AuthConfig is not valid.

If you want to use only the "Options + SymLinksIfOwnerMatch" directive inside a .htaccess, then it's enough the following:
Code:
AllowOverride Options

I also need AuthConfig because some folders have a different authentication provider.

The definitive documentation for AllowOverride:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mo...#allowoverride

But, if you have access to the httpd config files, you can (should , IMO) put the options you want for the Directory in there and avoid the use of .htacess files all together. See:
https://httpd.apache.org/docs/curren.../htaccess.html
