Thread:Project:Support desk/Open .htaccess files in MW19.9

My stock install of MW19.9 shows: /var/www/# for x in $(find . -name "\.htaccess"); do echo "$x:";echo -n "   ";cat $x;echo;done ./w/serialized/.htaccess: Deny from all

./w/cache/.htaccess: Deny from all

./w/languages/.htaccess: Deny from all

./w/tests/.htaccess: Deny from all

./w/tests/qunit/.htaccess: Allow from all

./w/tests/jasmine/.htaccess: Allow from all

./w/maintenance/.htaccess: Deny from all

./w/maintenance/archives/.htaccess: Deny from all

./w/images/.htaccess: # Protect against bug 28235  RewriteEngine On	RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \.[^\\/:*?\x22<>|%]+(#|\?|$) [nocase] RewriteRule. - [forbidden] 

./w/includes/.htaccess: Deny from all

/var/www/#

Is there a reason why some of the "tests" directories are set to "Allow from all"?

Do I need the "tests" directory in a production install?
