I have a configuration which applies server-wide config rules using Location directive {{{ <Location /> config-rules </Location> }}} I want to make an exception to this rule for a particular directory. This directory is outside DocumentRoot and hence I used Alias and Directory to make such exception. So I have, {{{ Alias /repository /var/repository <Directory /var/repository> Order Deny, Allow Allow from all </Directory> }}} But server-wide config rules defined using Location directive are still getting applied. I thought Directory rules are applied before Location directive and hence put such configuration. Any help on what's wrong with this config and how to make such exception to system-wide rules? System Config: CentOS 5.5 and Apache httpd 2.2.3-31.
