[OC6b3] /data/.htaccess not compatible with Apache 2.4

[scottlinux]

The file /owncloud/data/.htaccess has the following content:

deny from all
IndexIgnore *

This is unfortunately not compatible with Apache 2.4

Apache logs give:

[Thu Nov 07 22:02:35.780047 2013] [core:alert] [pid 4459] [client 198.46.152.201:33112] /var/www/localhost/htdocs/owncloud/data/.htaccess: Invalid command 'deny', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

This should work:

Require all denied
IndexIgnore *

This page has some info:

@scottlinux The only proper solution I can come up with is to add a comment for now with the valid Apache 2.4 config line.
Other projects have been discussing this already https://drupal.org/node/1599774

@scottlinux I have no Apache 2.4 at hand - can you confirm that
Require all denied
is the correct setting? THX

[GieltjE]

<ifModule mod_authz_core>
2.3+
</ifModule>
<ifModule !mod_authz_core>
2.2
</ifModule>

Is also the trick used by roundcube and appears to work just fine, Require all denied is indeed the correct 2.4 syntax

@GieltjE thanks for the input - the drupal discussion was not that clear on weather this approach would work in every constellation

The apache 2.4 specific configuration does not work for me, I have to change it to .c in the end of the module name for it to work:

<ifModule mod_authz_core.c>
Require all denied
</ifModule>

Not sure if this is specific to my installation or required in every case?

Still errors on OwnCloud 8.1 with this /owncloud/data/.htaccess file, if mod_autoindex is disabled:
Invalid command 'IndexIgnore', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

This directive must be set within ifModule directive:
<ifModule mod_autoindex.c>
IndexIgnore *
</ifModule>
