Protecting the "/" directory in Apache.

[hack3rcon]

Hello,
What id the difference between these two configuration:

Code: Select all

<Directory />
    AllowOverride none
    Require all denied
</Directory>

And:

Code: Select all

<Directory />
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Thank you.

The first is using apache 2.4 syntax and blocks all access to the "/" directory.

The second is using the old apache 2.2 syntax, but its set to allow all access to the "/" directory.

More details here: https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/upgrading.html
