[users@httpd] Default configuration: who replies with a "403 Forbidden" document?
I've just downloaded and installed Apache 2.4.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 for
didactical purposes.
I used the default configuration provided with ./configure and I edited the
httpd.conf ( /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf ) ONLY adding an "order"
directive in a directory block
<Directory "/usr/local/apache2/htdocs">
#Other default directives
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Deny from 192.168.1.3
</Directory>
Then I restarted the server and it worked as I guessed: the requests from
192.168.1.3 received a "403 Forbidden" response.
But why the client on 192.168.1.3 receives also a (very basic) HTML page
explaining the error, if I don't have any ErrorDocument directive?
(and the few present in httpd.conf by default are commented)
P.S. I don't attach httpd.conf because it's the default one, except for the
three lines added above. If it's necessary, I'll attach it.

Oh, I'm sorry.
I never thought about going to read the documentation for a directive I
DON'T use, but from now I will.
Thank you.

This is explained in the documentation for ErrorDocument at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/core.html#errordocument
in the paragraph which begins "The first option is the default ..."
HTH,
