Allow me to step aside from your question for a moment, I believe if you don't get the basics right you should just stop, this is very important: Directory directive specifies a directory in your filesystem, ***do not ever allow anything in /***, even less the execution of cgi scripts. You are also mixing authz 2.2 directives with 2.4 directives. And also allowing .htaccess files to be used throughout your whole operative system. Briefly it is a compendium of ill advice. In your server config context you should define at least these: <Directory /> Options None AllowOverride none Require all denied </Directory> and inside your virtualhost: DocumentRoot /var/www/snappy <Directory /var/www/snappy> #Options "add whatever options you do need, do not add random options .." Require all granted </Directory> and then configure other directories or whatever you need for service. But these above are the basics. About including AllowOverride directive, only do if you want non-admin users to setup specific directories configuration, set it up where it is really needed (NOT EVER system wide), most times using .htaccess will just complicate your life otherwise.
