Adam,
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
Allow from ::1
Allow from localhost
Can be reduced to
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
All means .. well .. all so the other stuff become just noise.
The order of 'Order Deny,Allow' should really be changed to 'Order Allow,Deny'
Setting Apache access to
all is fine if you have not port forwarded port 80 on your router, AND NEVER EVER DO!
However if you use 'Allow from all' or the new 'Require all granted' and months later decide to port forward your router forgetting that you took the
Easy Option when playing with your Apache access rights, YOU JUST OPENED EVERY SITE YOU EVER PLAYED WITH I mean developed to the universe.
This is why I never suggest beginners or anyone else for that matter ever use 'Allow from all'!
As of Apache 2.4 the syntax of the Apache security commands changed, the old ones work as long as you have
LoadModule access_compat_module modules/mod_access_compat.so in the list of active modules, but it is a good idea to start using the new syntax and forget the old Apache2.2 syntax if you are using Apache 2.4. They are bound to change the default options fairly soon and then people will start getting errors.
