There is only one virtualhost active, so it is inherently unique. I tried the following: <Directory /var/www/html/graphs> <Directory /graphs> <Directory graphs/> <Directory /graphs/> <Directory graphs> I have not tried: <Directory /var/www/html/graphs/> but I suspect that this isn't where the problem lies. This is a privacy-sanitized edit of the exact conf file. By the way, I did reload the server on each modification. <IfModule mod_ssl.c> NameVirtualHost *:443 <VirtualHost *:443> ServerName example.com ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www/html ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /vault/cert.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /vault/key.pem SSLCertificateChainFile /vault/CAchain.pem SSLCACertificateFile /vault/2017.txt <FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$"> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </FilesMatch> <Directory /usr/lib/cgi-bin> SSLOptions +StdEnvVars </Directory> <Directory graphs> Require ip 172.12.33.177 </Directory> </VirtualHost> </IfModule> > Make sure you are really landing in the same virtualhost with that > directory configuration. > > That may very well be an explanation to why it is not happening for > you.
