.htaccess processed after deletion

Hi all,

In the process of trying to pretty up some URLs, I noticed my changes to my .htaccess file weren't being obeyed.

I'm at the point now where I've completely deleted the .htaccess file but Apache is dutifully still following the .htaccess rules I had set up. It's almost like it's cached the .htaccess rules and come hell or high water it's going to carry them out.

I've restarted Apache & that didn't do anything.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Are you sure that .htaccess was deleted? Does your version check for other file names for rules in addition to .htaccess? Is there a .htaccess file with same or similar rules further up the tree? I've never heard of caching .htacess files.

I don't know what the heck it is any more. I've deleted (for sure) the .htaccess file. I've restarted Apache after turning off mod_rewrite. I've also turned on rewrite logging - and nothing's getting written to that file. I think Apache has it in for me.
