It depends on the directive, because each module merges their configuration between sections explicitly. The ambiguous ones are the ones that are conceptually lists. For example, adding a new DirectoryIndex or Require is interpreted as a fresh start even though one might expect/desire the opposite. Contrast with the various mod_mime directives (AddType, AddHandler, etc) which really are merged together from location to location. > I guess that the basic question is : does Apache finally select one and only > one Location/LocationMatch which applies, and then apply only the directives > within that section, or does it accumulate/merge all that applies ? > From the doc, I believe the latter, but it would be nice to have a definite > confirmation by an expert. They are merged two-at- a-time from lowest to highest priority, but it may ultimately look like the "last" one is selected depending on the directives (the final per-directory config can be treated as the verbatim config, or treated as a delta from the result of the previous merges) -- Eric Covener covener@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
