block access to a particular directory via htacess

Question

Well I have a folder at the root of my site called logs. Inside it I will save the logs that custom bugs that mount.

Good need to lock this folder not to be accessed by anyone, just by me via ftp.

But php can create error log files inside.

I found several form to put password in it with htacess, but I do not want by password, I want to block it definitely not to be accessed via browser.

Is there any way to do this with htacess?

I’m using the apache.

I tried to do so:

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

However there was internal error in the server.

Answer 1

Block the access completely

Create the . htaccess file inside the folder you want to protect

Deny from all

NOTE: inclusive, no script has access to this folder

Block access in part

Create the . htaccess file inside the folder you want to protect

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options -Indexes
</IfModule>

NOTE: When accessing the folder through the browser gives access denied (error 403), however, PHP can have access.

Answer 2

enter your apache2.conf or httpd.conf use the directive Define to point out where your package is installed.

 Define INSTALL_DIR [diretorio a ser instalado]

Ex : Windows

Define INSTALL_DIR c:\wamp64

Then use the following setting.

<Directory "${INSTALL_DIR}/www/Logs/">
   Deny from all
</Directory>

Remembering that Define [nome] [conteudo]
so if you want you can give another name, or look for an already configured directive.
When maintaining or configuring Directorys always try to give every configuration path

If it’s not Windows talk, but I think it’s good for Linux too.
