Apache 2.4 permissions issue - apache2.4

Question

I have Apache 2.4 installed using Homebrew on my Mac. The following does not work, it allows access to the entire filesystem:
<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Require all denied
</Directory>
If I enable access_compat_module then change the above block to the block below, it works as expected. I didn't make any other changes to httpd.conf.
<Directory />
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>
I thought these were equivalent but clearly something is not working. I have authz_core_module enabled in both cases. Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks.

if you want only share '/path/to/share'
then you need not to touch
< Directory / >
instead update the
< Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents" >
to let it be:
< Directory "/Library/WebServer/Documents" >
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
MultiviewsMatch Any
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
< /Directory >
then you can create a soft link under the
/Library/WebServer/Documents
to let it point to
/path/to/share
and give the
/path
/path/to
/path/to/share
enough permission to make it possible to access from
http://<your domain name>/
this is System level to share some special directory.
there is also other ways to share some special directory in your server
, e.g. Alias or user level
http://<your domain name>/~<username>
reference documents
