    BackupWP version 3.3.7 causes this error message repeatedly in the Apache error logs (on Ubuntu 16.04.1):

    <path...>/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/backwpup/.htaccess:
Require not allowed here, referer: https://mysite.com/wordpress/wp-admin/

    The .htaccess file, which was generated by BackupWP, contains:

    <Files *.php>
    <IfModule mod_authz_core.c>
        Require all denied
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule !mod_authz_core.c>
        Order allow,deny
        Deny from all
    </IfModule>
</Files>

    Is this a BackupWP bug? What should be done? Thanks.

    Hi,

    which version of Apache are you using?

    Any chance you know how Apache is configured for the website?

    It’s Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu).

    The virtual host for this site is configured like this, on top of a stock Ubuntu 16.04 LTS apache2.conf.

    <VirtualHost *:443>

    @maiden_taiwan, you have to change your VirtualHost, extending the AllowOverride properties to include FileInfo and AuthConfig.

    Details: I simply added “AuthConfig” after the existing “FileInfo”.

    <Directory "/var/www/html/example.com/public_html">                                   
    AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig                                                      
</Directory>
