Sorry to jump in again but this is not true in my opinion. As stated in my
previous email, the issue present itself only when a configuration merge
happens. I'll expand my previous example:
<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Require all denied
</Directory>
AND one of the following:
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow From 127.0.0.1
</Location>
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Require 127.0.0.1
</Location>
works without triggering any issue (tested it on httpd 2.4.10). The
following version instead triggers the error that you mentioned in your
original email:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order Allow,Deny
</Directory>
<Location /server-status>
SetHandler server-status
Require 127.0.0.1
</Location>

140233374893824] [client 127.0.0.1:55979] AH01797: client denied by server
configuration: /var/www/html/server-status
So access_compact takes the precedence over authz_host in certain merge
config scenarios.

Definitely, I will probably use the above example to explain why the usage
of a mixed configuration can lead to issues.

+1 for the migration, more 2.4 users are always welcomed :)
Let me know your thoughts!
