FastCGI - ApacheConfigGenerator - <LocationMatch not allowed here - Error

Error

I get this error - "<LocationMatch not allowed here" when I am trying to start httpd (apache) server after configuring it for FastCGI.

I strongly believe the error is due to the <LocationMatch> directive being inside the <Directory> context which is disallowed.

I have copied this directive by generating it from ApacheConfigGenerator. The option I selected was 'FastCGI'.

Can someone please help me with the right directive for FastCGI.

How to Reproduce

Use ApacheConfigGenerator to generate the *.conf extension to be added to <httpd root>/conf.d.

The configuration file contains a <LocationMatch> directive inside <Directory "/var/www/foswiki/bin">


The <LocationMatch> directive must be moved outside the <Directory> directive. A basic configuration is mentioned below. This is taken from FastCGIEngineContrib.

<LocationMatch "^%URL%/+(attach|edit|manage|rename|save|upload|.*auth|rest|login|logon)">
   AuthType Basic
   AuthName "Foswiki login realm"
   AuthUserFile "%ROOT%/data/.htpasswd"
   Require valid-user
</LocationMatch>
