Syntax error when trying to start the httpd service
Order deny,allow and co are 2.2.x specific directives. Even if still supported in 2.4.x (see mod_access_compat), it is not advised to do so. 2.2.x is EOL, so the syntax will not be tweaked anymore to accept some spaces into it. 'deny,allow' and co should be taken as a whole, not as 2 distinct options of the Order directive. |
Created attachment 22768 [details] the Order directive inside httpd.conf file The directive Order deny, allow with a space in between comma and allow will cause a syntax error to occur when attempting to start the httpd service. Normally people will type a space right after a comma so in this situation, IMO it will happens a lot of time when people forgot to eliminate that comma. It would be good if using a space within the argument doesn’t cause any syntax error.
