<Directory>
<Directory> ... </Directory>
[ server config or within <VirtualHost>]
<Directory> is a sectioning directive that identifies the directory (and its subdirectories) to which contained access-control directives apply. This directive cannot be used in a per-directory .htaccess file. The start tag has this format:
<Directory dir >
where dir is the absolute pathname of the directory. You can include wildcard characters (such as * and ?) to designate a set of directories or even use regular expressions if preceded by a tilde (~).
