Body: <p>I was looking at the <code>apache2/ssl_error.log</code> and found an error relating to a secondary <code>.htaccess</code> file inside the <code>&lt;drupal_root&gt;/sites/default/files/civicrm/uploads</code> directory. Below is my stackoverflow post about the error, however, my question for here is this: is it normal to have a secondary <code>.htaccess</code> file within the civicrm files uploads directory or should I remove it? It only contains the following lines:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Files "*"&gt;
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
  &lt;/Files&gt;
  </code></pre>

  <p>Even though I posted in stackover-flow, if anyone has any idea why I'm getting the this error, feedback would be greatly appreciated here or there, thanks!</p>
