Block access to .svn folders

By admin on August 25, 2009 in Apache

Here are three ways in Apache to block access to the .svn folders.

With access controls:

<Directory ~ "\.svn">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Directory>

Order allow,deny

Deny from all

</Directory>

With rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^(.*/)?\\.svn/ - [F,L]

1	RewriteRule ^(.*/)?\\.svn/ - [F,L]

With redirect:

RedirectMatch 404 /\\.svn(/|$)

1	RedirectMatch 404 /\\.svn(/\|$)

These come from the excellent MDLog:/sysadmin blog at:
