All the others (especially the "Allow from all") should be in a more specific container that applies to the doc root, eg: <Directory "/srv/www/mediawiki"> AllowOverride None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> > > > But what are the security ramifications of doing it this way > that you recognize? Never "Allow from" for a directory *above* your docroot or you allow URLs like http://server/../path to work!
