Question

I have WampServer 2 installed and I have created an alias on my computer called test which points to directory g:/test/.

However I keep getting a 403 error when I try and access localhost/test/

Which is being caused by these lines in my httpd.conf (if I comment these lines out it loads)

<Directory />
    AllowOverride none
    Require all denied
</Directory>

My conf for test is as follows:

Alias /test/ "g:/test/" 
<Directory "g:/test/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
        Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

How do I override the Require all denied in my test.conf file to stop the 403 errors?

Error Log reads:
[Sun Dec 09 18:51:23.757803 2012] [authz_core:error] [pid 5128:tid 884] [client ::1:50622] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: G:/test/

Access Log reads:
::1 – – [09/Dec/2012:18:51:23 +0000] “GET /test/ HTTP/1.1” 403 207

Answer 1

Try to replace deprecated:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all

By:

Require all granted

Concerns only Apache >= 2.4. However, I recommand to disable mod_access_compat (line LoadModule) to avoid Order/Allow/Deny conflicts with Require.
