Hello, I am learning apache, and the ironic part is that reading the apache documentation on acl reinforced my doubt in this matter. In this part: In the following example, all hosts in the apache.org domain are allowed access; all other hosts are denied access. Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Allow from apache.org --- My interpretation on this example: Order Deny,Allow (allow everything, unless specifically denied) Deny from all (deny everything.. kind of contradictory after the last line) Allow from apache.org (allow this specific hosts) --- Why not use this, that has fewer steps and seems more logical?: Order Allow,Deny (deny by default) Allow from apache.org (allow this specific hosts) I am getting it wrong or what? Why almost every example I see seems kind of contradictory? |
