What tools are you using to try to edit the conf file Bob? There are easy
ways and hard ways. You will find that the conf files are both hidden and
marked read-only, so you'll need to deal with those hurdles up front. You
can edit them via the command line and Terminal, but they're just text
files, so any decent text editor will work. If you use TextWrangler or
BBEdit, you can open hidden files directly into these programs, saving you
one set of steps. That way you can also search for the string you need to
edit, rather than trying to spot it by eye (nearly impossible in those conf
files unless you're really familiar with them).

Anyway, setting AllowOverride to All is the key. The other thing to be aware
of in some of the help pages on the web is that they're talking about the
process as applicable to OS X client, not server (the Clagnut one for
instance). The basics are the same, but file locations and names can be
different, even between versions of OS X Server (changed from Panther to
Tiger for instance).
