## Security notes

### Yaml
|
|
|
|
|
|
2013-05-25 01:41:00 +02:00
|
|
|
For the reasons explained in [security](/topics/security), Yaml files are blocked by default by the .htaccess file
|
2013-01-29 02:11:52 +01:00
|
|
|
provided by the SilverStripe installer module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To allow serving yaml files from a specific directory, add code like this to an .htaccess file in that directory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<Files *.yml>
|
|
|
|
|
Order allow,deny
|
|
|
|
|
Allow from all
|
|
|
|
|
</Files>
