I have a question about this section of the Apache conf file...
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>

I thought a tag like this: <aTag /> was both an open and close tag!
Therefore (if true), the section above is not correct and the settings for this section would be ignored!?!


Comments to cure the confusion, or ...

You're assuming the config file is XML, which it isn't. That is a directory tag referring to the root dir, /.
