Re: [users@httpd] Quick Directory Question...

N Lamb <ndlamb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> · Thu, 2 Jun 2005 12:52:13 -0400

I guess the info I am holding back on is the fact that I have been 

trying to figure out why turning off the "Performance Cache" broke the 

redirect for about 6 weeks (not constant work...  :)  ) I have tried 

different other config fixes with no success and then while looking at 

the config file yesterday this directory command jumped out at me and I 

thought that it was too easy of a fix...  (but the logic made sense to 

me)

The other piece of info is that I am VERY new to Apache and somewhat 

gunshy...

So I figured I would post it here to get a confirmation of my 

understanding of what is going on...

Is there a good reference book you could recommend for me to buy that 

would help me learn and understand Apache (1.3) for Mac?

Ideally a book with the basics, but would also be suitable as a 

reference (if not one book maybe two...)

One final question...  Do I need that directory line at all to protect 

the root structure?  And is there a security risk with just changing it 

to read as follows?

<Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents">
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from All
</Directory>

Thanks in advance and sorry of the elementary level of my questions...

IP addresses and Denys them access.

Is my logic correct? Or am I completely not understanding this Apache
stuff??

Yes, your logic sounds correct.  But my question is, why aren't you
just testing this yourself rather than asking on the list?  It makes
me suspect there is some information you aren't telling us, or some
question hidden behind your question.
