Httpd.conf does not work on apache

Question

I've installed Ubuntu Server and Apache2.

I want to test my httpd.conf by adding following code:

<Directory />   
     Order allow,deny   
     Deny from all   
</Directory>

+apache restart

It should raise 403 error while entering website, but I can browse my index.html normally.

Answer 1

These two lines should deny all IPs:

Order allow,deny
Deny from all

However, this is not the whole story. You need to place them in the right place. In Ubuntu, you need usually to edit the file /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default which contains the defined vhosts.

If you have a different configuration, you can post the complete configuration to get help.
