FilesMatch / Location

[Paulo Martinez <martinezino@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello List,

i wonder why this doesn't apply ...

#######################################################################################

In my main httpd.conf i have

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>


This directive is not in any container, just straight forward in  
httpd.conf

....
  User apache
  Group apache

  ServerAdmin root@localhost

  UseCanonicalName Off

  DocumentRoot "/storage/fast/www"

  <Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
  </Directory>

  <Directory "/storage/fast/www">
    Options None
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>

  DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var
  AccessFileName .htaccess

  <Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
  </Files>
...

###########################################################################

in an virtualhost container i use this


    Alias /rsrcdav "/storage/fast/www/virtualhosts/example.com/htdocs/ 
rsrc/"

    <Location /rsrcdav>

        php_admin_flag engine off

        DAV On
        DavMinTimeout 120

        ForceType text/plain

        Options +Indexes -FollowSymLinks

         AuthName "rsrcdav"
         AuthType Basic
         Order deny,allow
         Allow from all
         AuthUserFile /pathtofile/.htpasswd
         require valid-user
         satisfy all
    </Location>


###########################################################################


My question  - if i access

http://example.com/rsrc/.htaccess

i get correctly

"client denied by server configuration"

if i access

http://example.com/rsrcdav/.htaccess

i get the content of the file.


Why is my <location> not using the global directive

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>

??


Thanks

Cheers

PM
