<VirtualHost total.bk:80>
    DocumentRoot "D:/zfileserver"
    ServerName total.bk
    ErrorLog "logs/total.bk-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/total.bk-access.log" combined
    <Directory "D:/zfileserver">
        # AllowOverride All      # Deprecated
        # Order Allow,Deny       # Deprecated
        # Allow from all         # Deprecated

        # --New way of doing it
        Require all granted    
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
