[gentoo-user] <Directory> directive inside <VirtualHost>

[gentoo-user] <Directory> directive inside <VirtualHost>

[Joseph]

Any Apache guru on the list?

Is <Directory> directive permitted inside <VirtualHost> directive?
example from Gentoo /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf file:

<VirtualHost *:80>
   <Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs">
        .....
        .....
   </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

If I comment out the #<VirtualHost> directive, the <Directory> directive
(along with all its parameter (mainly "AllowOveride All")  is working.
But the default setup that came after Gentoo conversion to new standards
is preventing for example: AllowOveride All inside <Directory> directive
to take effect.

It should work fine - I have this in 
my /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/01_external_vhost.conf file:

<VirtualHost mclure.org:80>
ServerName www.mclure.org
DocumentRoot "/var/www/external/htdocs"
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/external/cgi-bin/"
<Directory "/var/www/external/htdocs">

    Allow from all
    AcceptPathInfo on
    AllowOverride all
    php_value include_path "/var/www/external/phpinc:.:/usr/lib/php"
</Directory>
<Directory "/home/bev/html">
