Description¶

The access module is used to deny access to files.

Options¶

url.access-allow
Allow access only to files with any of given trailing path names.
Default value:empty

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

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

Usage examples¶

url.access-allow

    url.access-allow = ( ".jpg", ".gif")

You might want to deny access to all files ending 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 = ("")
    }
