[users@httpd] Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
We're running Apache 2.2 on Debian 7 wheezy. We have approximately 24
virtual hosts. After running a few years, we saw some issues so we're
reviewing the entire Apache config.
I hope this is an easy question :)
On most of the files in sites-available, there is the following code:
> Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
>
> <Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
> AllowOverride None
> Order deny,allow
> Deny from all
> Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
> </Directory>
From what I've seen, this is for reading the Apache docs, and not much
else. So is this snippet of code necessary? Can I safely delete it?
Secondly,
Just wondering, when I try http://www.mysite.com/doc ... I get Not Found.
/Not Found/
/The requested URL /doc was not found on this server./
And trying http://www.mysite.com/doc/ (with the slash at the end), I get:/
/
/Forbidden/
/You don't have permission to access /doc/ on this server.
/
//Why would I not get access to any of the docs?
Thanks for any enlightenment.

The allow statement only lets you view the docs from localhost, which
explains the 403 (you should see that in your error log).
You can safely remove those.
