Currently the root directory setting in httpd.conf provides an open access policy. By default Apache has access to all directories on the host. In some cases it may be desirable to deny access by default and explicitly configure access rights to every resource.
This patch adds the boolean
root_directory_securedparameter to the main class. Setting this parameter totruewill add aDeny from all(Apache 2.2) or aRequire all denied(Apache 2.4) directive to the Apache config for the root directory. Setting the parameter tofalsewill leave out these directives. The parameter default isfalseto remain backwards compatible.
