It works like the following,




DocumentRoot "/srv/www/mediawiki"


<Directory "/srv/www">
  Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

This is the only directive you need in this directory container.

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!

Thank you much Boyle ... So now I have ...


DocumentRoot "/srv/www/mediawiki"

#
# Configure the DocumentRoot
#
<Directory "/srv/www">
        Options FollowSymLinks
</Directory>
#
#<Directory "/srv/www/htdocs">
<Directory "/srv/www/mediawiki">
        # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
        # or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
        #
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
        # doesn't give it to you.
        #
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
        # http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.2/mod/core.html#options
        # for more information.
        Options FollowSymLinks
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
        # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
        #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
        AllowOverride None
        # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
</Directory>



Is this correct? Thank you again Boyle,
