I recently upgraded one of my HTTPD severs from version 2.2 to 2.4. When I tried to start the Apache HTTPD daemon, I got the following exception:

AH01630: client denied by server configuration

The problem was related to a change in the configuration specs of the "allow & deny rules". More info was found here:

2.2 configuration:

Order deny,allow
Deny from all

2.4 configuration:

Require all denied
