Is there a way to force apache to read the parent .htaccess before the current directory .htaccess? Even if I put "Require all denied" in the document root, apache will still allow access to child folders.

Config:
Code:
<Directory /var/www/>
   Options -Indexes
   AllowOverride All
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/owncloud>
   AllowOverride FileInfo Indexes Options
</Directory>


Contents of /var/www/.htaccess
Code:
<RequireAll>
    Require all denied

</RequireAll>


Contents of /var/www/owncloud/.htaccess
Code:
<IfModule mod_headers.c>
  <IfModule mod_setenvif.c>
    <IfModule mod_fcgid.c>
       SetEnvIfNoCase ^Authorization$ "(.+)" XAUTHORIZATION=$1

What release of Apache are you using? I cannot reproduce the problem you describe with Apache 2.4.53 and your configuration settings.

Indeed, without "Require All Granted" defined for the top level directory, I cannot access any content in sub-directories, which is why it's present in the default configuration.

If you read this section of the documentation (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/howto/htaccess.html#when), it confirms Apache does read and process htaccess files from all parent directories before the current directory (AllowOverride permitting).
