title: Magento Apache configuration (app/etc/local.xml accessible warning)
body: <p>Just finished installing Magento on a Linux server.</p>
  
  <p>When I go to the Magento "Admin Panel" I can see the following message at the
  top of the page.</p>
  
  <p>Your web server is configured incorrectly. As a result, configuration files with sensitive information are accessible from outside. Please contact your hosting provider.</p>
  
  <p>What is the most likely cause for this error message?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
