That was easy.  Put "AllowOverride All" into the correct config file.
That's what I get for trying to be clever.

2) How do I stop Apache running as root?  From what I understand there
will always be one root process and the rest spun out under "www-data".
 Problem I'm having is that a wee the PHP checker-tool is claiming it is
running as UID 0.  Which is root.  Which is not good.  And also might
explain a few odd glitches I'm seeing.

Checked all the apache2 processes and only the rist one is running as
root, the rest as www-data (which is what I'd expect).  So I'm stumped
why PHP claims to be root.
