Hello again, Do you know where I can find the User directive and the Server configuration file?

These are the pieces from the Security tips , I want to perform <<<<<<< AllowOverride None This prevents the use of .htaccess files in all directories apart from those specifically enabled. PROTECT SERVER FILES IN DEFAULT To work around this, add the following block to your server's configuration: Order Deny,Allow Deny from all This will forbid default access to filesystem locations.
