I have DocumentRoot /var/www/test in my .htaccess file. This is causing the apache server to give me a 500 internal server error.

The error log file shows: alert] [client 127.0.0.1] /var/www/.htaccess: DocumentRoot not allowed here

AllowOveride All is set in my conf file.

Any idea why this is happening?

    The DocumentRoot directive cannot appear in a .htaccess file. Put it in httpd.conf instead.
