We do however recommend to completely deny all access to the aforementioned folders and their respective subfolders in your Apache configuration.<br /> + On Apache 2.4, denying access to the <code>phpbb</code> folder in a phpBB instance located at <code>/var/www/html/</code> would be accomplished by adding the following access rules to the Apache configuration file (typically apache.conf): + <pre> +<Directory /var/www/html/phpbb/*> + Require all denied +</Directory> +<Directory /var/www/html/phpbb> + Require all denied +</Directory></pre> + <br /> + <p>The same settings can be applied to the other mentioned directories by replacing <code>phpbb</code> by the respective directory name.
