Description¶

The access module is used to deny access to files.

Options¶

Name	Description	Default value
url.access-deny	Denies access to all files with any of given trailing path names.	empty
access.deny-all	Denies access to all files.	empty

Note: access.deny-all should be used with a conditional to limit it (only from lighty 1.5x)

Usage examples¶

We might want to deny access to all files ended with a tilde (~) or .inc because of:

1. Text editors often use a trailing tilde for backup files.
2. And the .inc extension is often used for include files with code.

url.access-deny¶

    url.access-deny = ( "~", ".inc")

access.deny-all usage¶

    $PHYSICAL["path"] =~ "(~|\.inc)$" {
        access.deny-all = "enable" 
    }

Directory deny access¶

    $PHYSICAL["path"] !~ "^/srv/example.org/" {
        access.deny-all = "enable" 
    }

Directory deny access (1.4x versions)¶

    $HTTP["url"] =~ "^/libraries" {
        url.access-deny = ("")
    }
