I'm not sure what I've got wrong then. If I change /etc/hosts to:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
it works. If localhost.localdomain is the canonical name in
/etc/hosts, I get denied.
I added a localhost.localdomain zone to my local DNS and things still
wouldn't work. (I'd previously only had a localhost zone.)
Commenting out the localhost entry in /etc/hosts didn't work either.
Care to test this out and let me know if it's just me (and Charles)
with this problem? I created /etc/httpd/conf.d/test.conf with the
following content:
Alias /tmp /tmp
<Directory /tmp>
Options Indexes
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
#Allow from 127.0.0.1
#Allow from localhost
#Allow from localhost.
#Allow from localhost.localdomain
</Directory>
In /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
I am able to browse to http://localhost/tmp/ with either the 127.0.0.1
or localhost.localdomain allow lines uncommented. Neither the
localhost nor localhost. allowed me to access the URL.
