title: Apache limit PUT and DELETE
body: <p>I've been trying to use a <code>&lt;limit&gt;</code> tag to disable PUT and DELETE calls from being executed through our Apache server and have been unsuccessful. </p>
  
  <p>Apache Version: 2.2</p>
  
  <p>I am currently adding something like this to the inside of my httpd.conf file:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;Directory /&gt;
     Options none
     AllowOverride none
     Order deny,allow
     Deny from all
     &lt;Limit PUT DELETE TRACE&gt;
          Order deny,allow
          Deny from all
      &lt;/Limit&gt;
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I have been unable to get a successful restart on Apache while this line is in the file. Now, I know very little about Apache and I've been trying to follow along in some of the Apache docs I've found but have been unsuccessful.</p>
  
  <p>With none of my changes this section of the httpd.conf looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code> &lt;Directory /&gt;
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride None
      Order deny,allow
      Deny from all
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any help would be appreciated. </p>
