I guess I am just a little confused as to why there is a Directory / at all? If my DocumentRoot is set to /var/www then wouldn't that prevent anyone from accessing anything above /var/www in the directory structure anyway, thus making the Directory / kind of pointless? On 09/29/2011 06:44

Your root directory / should always be Deny from all. Then you allow access to other directories per need. On Sep 30, 2011 7:25 AM, Brandon Phelps bphe...@gls.com wrote: Hello all, I am a bit confused regarding the difference between: Directory / Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None
