What is the right permission set?How can I have a directory that apache can use, but nobody can browse to?The reason is that I have PHP/MySQL Setup and I store all of my MySQL connection information and queries in a directory and I dont want people 'finding' this by simple browsing the website or using a web grabber to take a copy of the whole site.Can anyone provide insight?To prevent a directory from being served by the webserver, do this: <Directory /path/to/directory> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Directory> Put this block in your <VirtualHost> block.
