The AccessFileName directive allows you to change the name of the file + that will be considered for per-directory configuration overrides, in the + event that AllowOverride is enabled + for that directory.

We do not recommend that you change this value, and + especially that you do not list multiple possible file names, as it makes + troubleshooting more difficult for anyone not familiar with your local + settings.

While processing a request, the server looks for files with the name + (or names) defined in AccessFileName + in every directory of the path to the document, if distributed configuration files are enabled for that - directory. For example:

- -
AccessFileName .acl
- - -

Before returning the document + directory. For example Before returning the document /usr/local/web/index.html, the server will read - /.acl, /usr/.acl, - /usr/local/.acl and /usr/local/web/.acl - for directives unless they have been disabled with:

+ /.htaccess, /usr/.htaccess, + /usr/local/.htaccess and /usr/local/web/.htaccess + for directives.

For this reason, the default configuration file contains the following stanza:

<Directory "/">
     AllowOverride None
 </Directory>
+

This configuration block helps prevent unnecessary file accesses in directories + outside of your DocumentRoot. See also the note + about this in the AllowOverride directive documentation.
