fix: remove All from Options All -Indexes in .htaccess

[sba]

Options All -Indexes causes a 500 Internal Server Error. (Apache on hostpoint.ch / interxion).

Without the -All it works fine.

I'm not sure about all the effects, but I think the -All is already handled in the Apache directive and has not to be in .htaccess

[paulbalandan]

What specifically is the Error 500 message?

[kenjis]

It seems Options -Indexes depends on the context.

For example, without any + and - symbols:

<Directory "/web/docs">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

<Directory "/web/docs/spec">
  Options Includes
</Directory>

then only Includes will be set for the /web/docs/spec directory. However if the second Options directive uses the + and - symbols:

<Directory "/web/docs">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
</Directory>

<Directory "/web/docs/spec">
  Options +Includes -Indexes
</Directory>

then the options FollowSymLinks and Includes are set for the /web/docs/spec directory.

[paulbalandan]

Can you check if your apache configuration file allows override of Options in the htaccess file?
It should be either:

AllowOverride All

or

AllowOverride Options

Can you check if your apache configuration file allows override of Options in the htaccess file?

Both are not allowed:

[paulbalandan]

No, I mean your actual configuration file httpd conf contains the AllowOverride lines.

I share my config apache2.conf

<Directory /home/http7_data>
        Options -Indexes
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
        Require all granted
</Directory>

With this my .htaccess running normal now, Can you sharing apache2.conf or log file?

[sba]

i can't see my apache2.conf or other http conf files, it's on a shared hosting and unfortunately I don't have access to it...

[kenjis]

The comment says "Disable directory browsing".
Then, this PR is no problem.
It seems we do not need to set All options.

In that case, we can assume your hosting provider does not allow override of all options. Anyway, this change seems harmless.

@sba Thank you!
