[NCLUG] apache .htaccess question...

[Joshua SS Miller]

But do not do it on <Directory />  use the web directory section.  Other
wise you are opening up your root(/) file systems to potential
compromise.  Also, unless you have a really good reason, do not use All.
Only open the options you need for the specific application.
