.htaccess directory internal server error

Question

On my localhost i use the php build in server, and want to block some directory.

<Directory /config/>
    Options +Indexes
    IndexOptions +FancyIndexing
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from 127.0.0.1
</Directory>

But on my debian apache2 server i ve get an internal server error. Apache2 error log:

[Tue Dec 21 08:38:31.577748 2021] [core:alert] [pid 30883] [client xxx:42012] /var/www/html/.htaccess: <Directory not allowed here

but how can i apply this on my example? did i have to chnage test into config? — Elias Krapf, Dec 21 '21 at 14:28

Inside apache2.conf i use

<Directory /var/www/html/config/>
        Options +Indexes
        IndexOptions +FancyIndexing
        Order deny,allow
        Deny from all
        Allow from 127.0.0.1

You should ***not*** be doing this. `/html/` is for serving public pages. *If you have config, **do not** put it in a public directory.* – HoldOffHunger Dec 21 '21 at 14:39
