Hi,
The basic difference is while using <Directory> the path should be
absolute and should be there on the filesystem. But <DirectoryMatch> there
is no need for any absolute path.... Also if your Document root is /opt/html
and assume there are two other folders like /opt/html/test/test1 and
/opt/html/support/test now on the doucument root on .htaccess if you have
used <DirectoryMatch test> and denied for everyone, access for both
/opt/html/test & /opt/html/support/test will be blocked which is not with
the case of <Directory>
Regards.

None. Just a change in syntax over time because <Directory ~> is a
little obscure. They work exactly the same.
