I am doing PHP web application, with Apache.

There are a few configuration files ( like App.yml) whose content I don’t want to expose to users under whatsoever circumstances. Is there anyway that I can tweak my Apache setting so that these files won’t be available when hostile users query for them?

    The best option would be to place the files outside of your document root. If that’s not possible, you can deny access to them in apache .conf file (or a .htaccess file) with

    <Directory /path/to/dir>     Deny from all </Directory>
