Setting Up Apache Web Server to Not See Everything On a NetWare Server

Articles and Tips: qna

Q.

I have set up a Web server using Apache and to my surprise, I can read just about everything on my NetWare server. Using a request like this:

http://IP/....../etc/hosts

gives me the hosts file. What did I do wrong?

Dear Sarah: The very first directory entry in the server absolutely has to be as follows:

<Directory "/">
Options FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride None
	Order deny,allow
	deny from all
</Directory>

By default, the Apache Web server has access to the entire NetWare server, and this directory directive restricts that access.
