While looking for a solution to another problem (http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=6749), i've run into something strange: i wanted to deny access to all files.
| Code: | <FilesMatch "^a">
Order allow, deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch> |
This blocked access and visibility to all files whose names start with "a".
| Code: | <FilesMatch "^[a-hj-z]">
Order allow, deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch> |
This blocked access and visibility to all files except those whose names start with "i".
| Code: | <FilesMatch "^i">
Order allow, deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch> |
This blocked access and visibility to the server document root directory!! While testing, i've found out that this only happens with the letter 'i'. I removed the "DirectoryIndex index" directive, but the problem remained.
Why does this happen? What's so particuliar in files starting with 'i'?
Thank you! |

@admin: you're right, i'm sorry.
Could somebody please check on his/her own computer whether this happens also to you?
You should add these lines to httpd.conf. They make my entire server forbidden, instead of files only.
| Code: | <FilesMatch "^i">
Order allow, deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch> |
Thank you. |

If you have mod_dir loaded and you don't provide a DirectoryIndex directive, it defaults to:
DirectoryIndex index.html per the docs for DirectoryIndex .
