OK, sorry to be such a pest here but let me make sure I got this
right.
There is a sort of generic default allow nothing Directory statement
over '/'.
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
So does that then mean that setting execCGI on
/var/www/localhost/htdocs will not cover
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/subdir?
So then I'd need to edit httpd.conf for any added directories?
If that is true its sort of surprising to me.... I don't recall having
this trouble in previous setups but then I haven't ever configured for
public_html to be active before. I've just done all my shenanigans
right in doc_root. /var/www/localhost/htdocs
I've mentioned earlier that my purpose here is to move possibly
damaging expermentation from /var/www/localhost/htdocs to
~/public_html because I now have need of a reliable local lan page for
the family network and don't want to disrupt it with something
misguided like. `rm -rf $htdoc/*' and have forgotten to define
$htdocs.
Yup, I've done it at least once.
For clarity here is there really any reason not to just add everything
I need at .. like stick a bunch of permissive stuff in there.
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
This is a single user machine. It is on a network but there is no
chance barring a household takeover by terrorists or something that
any malicious things would be done thru the apache server.
It is shielded from the internet by a settop router/firewall.
Now some sort of mistaken action on the part of a local client could
happen but is that a real problem if I were to set:
<Directory />
Options All execCGI
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
