My web searching is not finding out the answers to this, so I turn to
you all here.
I am trying to NOT modify my httpd/conf/httpd.conf file, and only make
changes via includes. I have done that with a 00-init.conf where I set
things like servername and serveradmin. Now I want to move my allow and
denies to a 01-allow.conf include. I tried:
<Directory "/var/www/html">
Order allow,deny
deny from all
</Directory>
as that seems to be what is in the default conf, but I see in the error_log:
[Tue Oct 07 08:51:58 2014] [error] [client 208.83.67.156] Directory
index forbidden by Options directive: /var/www/html/
And maybe this is not the right restriction, because when I make this
change directly in the default httpd.conf, I still can get to the
default web page.
Now on to the 'allow' statement. All syntax examples I have seen for it
follow:
allow from 1.1.1.0/24 1.1.2.0/24 2400:cb00:2048:1::/64
and soforth. That is each range separated by a space. But potentially
I have 18 ranges to specify, and at least named makes it easy with each
range on its own line ending with a ';'. For now I am only putting 2
ranges in, but how does one set up a longer list of allowed ranges?
thanks
