The Directory Directive
The Directory directive defines access control and security settings for the directories that are accessible by your web server. Each Directory directive is comprised of several subdirectives. Some of these subdirectives include Options, AllowOveride, and <Limit>. Many of the subdirectives that can be included in the <Directory> definitions can be included in local access control files (see AccessFileName directive). In most cases, the default <Directory> definitions included in your httpd.conf file will be adequate for you needs (the default definitions are included below). If you need to modify these definitions, please consult the URL references listed below for a thorough presentation of the <Directory> directive and its subdirectives.

The following is an example:

<Directory /usr/local/etc/httpd/htdocs>

#Value for the Options directive can include:
#"None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes",
#"Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or
#"MultiViews". Note that "MultiViews" is not
#included with "All"

Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

#The AllowOverride directive controls which options
#the local access control files in directories can
#override. The values can also be "All", or any
#combination of "Options", "FileInfo", "AuthConfig",
#and "Limit"

AllowOverride None

#The Limit directive controls who can get access
#resources from your server. The Limit directive can
#specifically identify access restrictions made using
#methods such as POST, GET, PUT, DELETE, etc. If no
#method is specified, then the access restrictions
#are placed on all methods.

<Limit>
order allow,deny
allow from all
</Limit>

</Directory>

#/usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin should be changed to
#the value of your ScriptAlias definition

<Directory /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride None
Options None
</Directory>
