# mod_alias, not `Require` or mod_rewrite. `Require` is AuthConfig-class and
# returns 500 for this whole folder on a host that grants only `AllowOverride
# FileInfo` (getgrav/grav#4309, #4311). mod_alias is FileInfo-class, leaves the
# root's rewrite rules in force here, and merges into subfolders, so a subfolder
# with its own RewriteEngine cannot switch it off.
#
# Matches the whole URL path, so the exception is written exactly as the root's.
# Keep the two in sync.
