Re: allow deny file and multiple .conf question

[Yehuda Katz <yehuda@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Allow/Deny directives apply to whatever container they are in. A single file can onl.y ever match a single <File> block and the individual <Files> blocks do not have any connection to each other.

In general, .conf files are loaded alphabetically, but in your example, it shouldn't matter.

When controlling access to specific files via Allow/Deny, and not using <Directory> or <Location>, and putting in different .conf files, does the order of the conf files matter?

In other words …

aaa-block.conf has …

<Files “aaa.php>

  Order Deny,Allow

  Deny from All

</Files>

…

zzz-block.conf has …

<Files “zzz.php”>

  Order Deny, Allow 

  Deny from all

  Allow from your domain.com

</Files>

Would the .conf files similar to one above controlling access previous be negated by the last zzz-block.conf above? In other words “Allow from yourdomain.com" would apply to all the previous <Files> statements? Are the .conf files in the same directory loaded alphabetically by Apache?
