web:apache permissions

Apache 2.0 changed the default DocumentRoot permissions to be very restrictive. While I can’t argue this is a better security paradigm than less restrictive default permissions, in the real world upgrading a server with 300+ domains, it can be a pain to script permissions changes in all of the config files. AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow Deny from all Change the default permissions to be less restrictive with this instead: AllowOverride None Order Deny,Allow courtesy: http://damonparker.org/blog/2007/01/06/apache-error-client-denied-by-server-configuration/ I donot take the ownership of this content
