[ale] apache2 .htaccess?

[Christopher Bergeron]

Robert, are you certain that your file path is correct?  I had a very 
similar issue, but it turned out to be an inconsistent relative path to 
the access file(s).  Have you tailed (tail -f ) your 
/var/www/logs/access_log and error_logs while hitting the site with a 
browser?  If so, does it give you any specific errors?
