I'm trying to use .htaccess on my project on apache2 using ubuntu 18.04. The tutorials I saw said that I have to change apache2.conf as:

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Require all denied
</Directory>

To:

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Require all denied
</Directory>

After change it, I make my own htaccess on project but it doesn't work. I want browser prevent user to go backward and browsing project directories and my computer directories using URL ../../../../

Ex: localhost/project/index.php/../../../../

How can I use my .htaccess in my project?, knowing that there is no default .htaccess file ! And how to prevent user for browsing directories using ../../ in url ???

It's not clear, I don't understand him ! .htaccess working now but in my project it return me to parent folder ! – Abdallah M Yassin Apr 06 '21 at 08:16
Those are two completely separate questions. Enabling the interpretation of distributed coniguration files and file system access don't have much to do with each other... – arkascha Apr 06 '21 at 10:25
Do you want only permit access to /var/www/project directory ? – jacouh Apr 06 '21 at 19:18
