Allow the use of files directive in .htaccess

  • 772

In my /etc/apache2/apache2.conf I have the following config:

...
<Directory /var/www>
  Options FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride FileInfo
</Directory>
...

And in /var/www/.htaccess

...
<files .htaccess>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</files>
...

But I get an error:

[Sat Mar 22 00:00:00.020630 2014] [core:alert] [pid 1234] [client 285.123.123.123:1234] /var/www/.htaccess: order not allowed here

When I change AllowOverride FileInfo to AllowOverride All the error is gone.

Should I do it differently? Is there an other option to enable files directive?

I use Apache 2.4.6

apache-2.2

  1. Order/Deny/Allow implies Limit, not FileInfo, as value of AllowOverride.

    Also note that these directives are deprecated since Apache 2.4.0: they are replaced by Require.
