.htaccess cgi perl - Invalid command 'Deny', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not-CodePudding

i'm trying to set up this: https://github.com/oprel/emanon But everytime i try to run post.cgi i receive this error on the error log:

[Sat Jul 02 13:03:13.380647 2022]
/fs5d/9kun/public/board/.htaccess: Invalid command 'Deny', perhaps misspelled or 
defined by a module not included in the server configuration

The 'Invalid command' is from .htaccess:

<FilesMatch "\.(txt|pm)$">
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

Lines 3,4,5 What should i do?? I run apache with cgi.

CodePudding user response：

I would expect you are on Apache 2.4

<FilesMatch "\.(txt|pm)$">
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

Deny is an Apache 2.2 (and earlier) directive and is formerly deprecated on Apache 2.4 and moved (from a base module) to mod_access_compat (an optional extension). This module is probably not enabled, hence the error.

You should be using the corresponding Require directive on Apache 2.4 instead. For example:

Require all denied

Reference:

https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_authz_core.html#require

CodePudding user response：

The problem is that you are not ordering the statement at all, therefore Apache has no idea whether you want to deny or allow it. Try this below...

<FilesMatch "\.(txt|pm)$">
    Order Allow,Deny
    Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
