I have apache 2.2.22 running on Ubuntu 12.04 and I'm migrating to a new system running apache 2.4.7 on Ubuntu 14.04. Somewhere on the old setup (originally done about 6 years ago), I apparently have a single "AllowOverride FileInfo" that is covering several virtual servers, but I can't find it. To get the same websites to work on the new system, I've had to put "AllowOverride FileInfo" into the directives for each individual virtual server. I can't find any differences between the httpd.conf files in the two systems, in fact they're copies of each other. Where else might I look for that single "AllowOverride" that is catching all my virtual servers on the old system? Or is there a difference between the 2.2.22 and 2.4.7 versions that would explain this?

[Update: Here's a little more info. On the new install's httpd.conf file, if I put the "allowoverride fileinfo" is for <directory /var/www/blog1> the blog1 links work. If it's in <directory /var/www> they don't, even though that's supposed to be recursive isn't it? My virtual servers for the older install have no references to allowoverride all or fileinfo, anywhere at all in httpd.conf or apache2.conf, yet the .htaccess files in all directories get read.]

Solved
I found a reference to /var/www in apache2.conf with "AllowOverride None" in it, which was apparently overriding the same thing in httpd.conf with "AllowOverride FileInfo".
