Andreas,No, the documentation is accurate. The purpose of this <Directory> block, as included in the stock config files and most packages prepared by linux distribution maintainers, is to ensure that the root of your filesystem, /, is not accessible from malicious scripts trying to exploit your web server.
It should not be altered, or removed.What you need to do is 'allow' access to the directory where your content is, with something like:
<Directory /path/to/my/docroot/> Allow from all AllowOverride <your list here> </Directory> Andreas Prilop wrote:
Which is the default value of AllowOverride? http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#allowoverride claims that the default is AllowOverride All However, /etc/apache2/sites-available/default contains <Directory /> AllowOverride None </Directory> Does this mean that the default is "none"? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
