I noticed that when I placed an .htaccess file outside of web space, the .htaccess file was respected by Apache. I found this surprising. Say DocumentRoot is /home/joe/public_html so that /home/joe is in a path leading to web space, but outside of web space. An .htaccess file: /home/joe/.htaccess is respected by Apache. Am I interpreting what I'm seeing correctly or could I possibly have a configuration problem? I don't want and I don't expect anything at the /home/joe level to be web space so I was surprised that Apache would recognize any file at the /home/joe level for any purpose. Or am I thinking about this wrong in that /home/joe would be web space if not for the "Deny from all" placed at the <Directory /> level and nothing permissive allowed except for a permissive Directory configuration of /home/joe/public_html?
