Florence qa0322 Reading doc doesn't work when "allow from" is set to localhost, but does when set to 127.0.0.1. e.g., this is the default /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file that doesn't work: # Allow access to local system documentation from localhost Alias /doc/ /usr/share/doc/ <Location /doc> order deny,allow deny from all allow from localhost Options Indexes FollowSymLinks </Location> this does: # Allow access to local system documentation from localhost Alias /doc/ /usr/share/doc/ <Location /doc> order deny,allow deny from all #allow from localhost allow from 127.0.0.1 Options Indexes FollowSymLinks </Location>
The allow statement will be changed to "allow localhost .localdomain" in apache-1.3.19-4 and later. Thanks!
