[SOLVED] [Apache] Is this a correct sites-enabled entry?

Hey!

I recently deleted my .htaccess files and moved the rules into apache's sites-enabled config file, since i'm told it's more secure.
Looks like this:

Code:

<Directory /var/www/directory>
		Options None
		AllowOverride AuthConfig
		Order allow,deny
		allow from all
		AuthType Basic
		AuthName "authname"
		AuthUserFile /pathto/.authuserfile
		Require user user01
	</Directory>

Is this a correct entry?
I basically just copy+pasted the .htaccess file, but not sure every line is necessary, it feels redundant somehow.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

What you really don't need, is the "AllowOverride .." line, as you don't want to use .htaccess
Then you can also omit the

Quote:

Order allow,deny
allow from all

as you want to allow access to authenticated user only.

Cheers
