Title Body

The pertinent part of my .htaccess looks like this: Options -Indexes <FilesMatch include> Order allow,deny Deny from all </FilesMatch> RedirectMatch 404 ^/include(/.*)$ And it's generating the following responses: /include 403 /include/ 404 /include/config.inc 403 I can tell by looking at my pattern that problem is likely in the (/.*) part but everything I have tried gives me the same results; instead of consistently getting 404 I get a 404 for the one case and 403 for everything else. What is wrong with the expression I'm using? Alternatively since I have to do this for a few directories is there a blanket approach that would allow me to convert all 403 responses to 404? UPDATE: I've found that by removing the FileMatch I get better results, so my .htaccess now looks like this: Options -Indexes RedirectMatch 404 ^/include(/.*)?$ # Added dlamblin's first suggestion And generates the following responses: /include 404 /include/ 404 /include/config.inc 403 UPDATE: Interestingly enough I have discovered that the following produces different output: RedirectMatch 404 ^/include(/?|/.*)$ RedirectMatch 404 ^/template(/?|/.*)$ The template pattern works on all cases however include is still generating 403 for all files in include (e.g. /include/config.inc) Could this be an issue with the directory name and not a problem with the .htaccess file itself? UPDATE: The following in my .htaccess was conflicting with redirect when accessing /include/config.inc. <FilesMatch config> Order allow,deny Deny from all </FilesMatch>
