Well Sean - I have commented out the php directives. *.html files are still accessible as well. I have put t1.html , t2.htm , and t3.php into the same directory. These files are still accessible, and output three lines of text. Here is my complete websites.conf file, that gets included into httpd.conf. I'm wondering if it is being included in the wrong place in httpd.conf, and causing conflicts with how Directry Files and Location sections are parsed. Does anyone have a link to a minimal httpd.conf file I can make a fresh start with. ie what is the very bare minimal configuration directives I can get away with for a complete httpd.conf file, without SSL or virtual hosts, which I can add later? # default access on root filesystem - www.karsites.net <Directory /> DirectoryIndex karsites.hml Options None AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow Deny from all # php_admin_value open_basedir '/srv/www/htdocs/:/tmp/' # php_admin_flag display_errors OFF </Directory> #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # remove the CONNECT bug # http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=19113 <Location /> <Limit CONNECT> Order deny,allow Deny from all </Limit> </Location> #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # default restrictions on rest of server docs filesystem <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/KAR/*/> # AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwd # AuthGroupFile /etc/httpd/group Options None AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow Deny from all </Directory> #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # only localhost can access documentation tree here <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/manual> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from localhost </Directory> #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # only localhost and 10.0.0.3 can access development tree <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/KAR/websites/develop> Options None Options Indexes Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from localhost Allow from 10.0.0.3 # php_admin_flag display_errors ON </Directory> #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # only localhost can access intermediate tree <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/KAR/websites/intermediate> Options None Options Indexes Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from localhost # php_admin_flag display_errors ON </Directory> #========================================================================== # START OF PUBLIC WEBSITE DIRECTORIES & ACCESS PERMISSIONS #========================================================================== #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # MUXREG WEBSITE ACCESS #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # anyone including localhost can access live websites <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/KAR/websites/live/muxreg/anyuser> Options None Order deny,allow Allow from all # php_admin_flag display_errors OFF </Directory> #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # DBA ADMIN PAGES # only localhost can access the admin pages of this site <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/KAR/websites/live/muxreg/admin> Options None Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from localhost # php_admin_flag display_errors OFF </Directory> #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # # SITE DOWN PAGE # uncomment this section to make muxreg website UNAVAILABLE online # anyone including localhost can access live websites # # <Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/KAR/websites/live/muxreg/sitedown/"> # Options None # Order deny,allow # Allow from all # # php_admin_flag display_errors OFF # </Directory> # #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # anyone can access this public directory tree with dir listings <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/KAR/websites/pub> Options None Options Indexes Order deny,allow Allow from all </Directory> #-------------------------------------------------------------------------- # access for localhost and 10.0.0.3 only with directory listings <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/KAR/websites/test> Options None Options Indexes Order deny,allow Deny from All Allow from localhost Allow from 10.0.0.3 </Directory> <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/KAR/websites/test/PHP> Options None Order deny,allow Deny from all <Files *.php> Order deny,allow Deny from all </Files> </Directory> <Directory /srv/www/htdocs/KAR/websites/pub/computing/apache-test> Options None Order deny,allow Deny from all <Files *.html> Order deny,allow Deny from all </Files> </Directory> #========================================================================== # END OF WEBSITE DIRECTORIES & ACCESS PERMISSIONS #========================================================================== # end of websites.conf On Fri, 30 Dec 2005, Sean Davis wrote: > To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > From: Sean Davis <sdavis2@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Filename Access > > Just a suggestion, but if you take out the .php directives > (that allow php script execution) do you get the correct > behavior?
