`foswiki/root-htaccess.txt`	`foswiki/.htaccess`
`foswiki/bin/.htaccess.txt`	`foswiki/bin/.htaccess`
`foswiki/pub-htaccess.txt`	`foswiki/pub/.htaccess`
`foswiki/subdir-htaccess.txt`	`.htaccess` in all other subdirectories below `foswiki`

Ensure that web access is denied to all Foswiki subdirectories other than bin and pub. The sample .htaccess files show how to configure Apache appropriately.

Ensure that the foswiki/bin/.htaccess files contains the line SetHandler cgi-script so that all scripts in the bin directory will be executed by Apache.
