In an apache conf file, if a line is start with #, that line is counted as comment. For example,
#This is a comment line #And then the following is some real settings: AllowOverride None However, this is not allowed.
#And then the following is some real settings: AllowOverride None #A comment that starts in the middle of line Is it possible to starts a comment in the middle of the line? And if yes, how?

But, if you're using vim, here's a tip (from my co-worker) to comment out a Apache config block. Put the cursor under the D character at the opening <Directory ...> line and type the following:
Although the Apache httpd configuration file is easy to edit, it will prevent the webserver from running if you mess up its syntax. The following are some tips to keep in mind when editing the configuration files.
This is a simple process, but may not be self-explanatory to people that don’t understand the file’s structure. The interpreter ignores lines marked as comments, which are only to aid humans in understanding the file. Because of this, comments can be used to disable or enable configuration options in configuration files.
Or, to “comment out” a line, add a # character to the start of the line. (Note that some languages have different comment formats, so this may not be true if you’re working with a source code file.) For example, let’s say you have a file with the following text:
The documentation states that it is not possible:
... Lines that begin with the hash character "#" are considered comments, and are ignored. Comments may not be included on the same line as a configuration directive ...

I believe only # is parsed as there is no real need for it. But if you really need you can use IfDefine block, which will be ignored unless a matching variable has a definition.
<IfDefine myexisterenceIsForJustAComment> ... </IfDefine> Look at discussion at : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1349546
Not sure if these are supported in latest versions (< httpd-2.2.15-53) but you can try below which was supported in earlier versions. You may be in luck if you are on older version.
In earlier/older versions of Apache, I remember it was okay to include a comment at the end of a line (wrapped in double quotation marks), like so:
<Limit GET > Order Allow,Deny Allow from all Deny from xxx.xxx.xxx "# I am in inline comment" </Limit> If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
