 * While updating woocommerce to the latest version I saw today the following errors
   in the server protocol:
 * Error 80.74.152.100 403 GET/wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads/HTTP71.0
 * Error 80.74.152.100 401 POST /wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron=1623228467.7074470520019531250000
   HTTP/1.0
 * Error 80.74.152.100 AH01797: client denied by server configuration: /home/httpd/
   vhosts/xxxxxxx/wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads/, referer: https:xxxxxx/
   wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads/
 * Is this just regular behaviour or something serious?

 * Thanks for your answer. Your issue really reminds me of yours.
    And I also experience,
   since I posted the issue already several times during the last 7 days, that none
   of the moderators/supporters was able to give a clear and simple answer whether
   this behaviour is just fine due to the wc_uploads-folder’s .htaccess code “deny
   from all” or not. All the answers except yours were always turning around wrong
   server configurations, theme or plugin conflicts etc. So far I’m quite disappointed
   about the support you get here.

 * Hi again,

 * That is expected behaviour.
    `wp-content/uploads/woocommerce_uploads/` is a protected
   uploads folder used for example by WooCommerce Subscriptions downloads. The files
   in it must not be publicly visible or accessible, hence the `deny from all`. 
   If the error message interrupt a process, you can of course remove the `.htaccess`,
   just keep in mind then that any downloads in this folder are then also publicly
   available.
 * Kind regards,
