Will do, but there is no error, it just simply does not work as I want it to :) Abstract ======== There are special files in my subversion repository i want to protect (f.e. "prod.properties"). To be able to see these files you must be in a special group called "admin". Access to all other files should be granted if you do sent valid crendentials to the webserver. Configuration ============= <Location /repos> DAV svn SVNParentPath /home/svn/repositories AuthzSVNAccessFile ../users/access-file Satisfy All Require valid-user AuthType Basic AuthName "Subversion repository" AuthUserFile ../users/users.htpasswd AuthAuthoritative off </Location> <LocationMatch "prod.properties$"> Require group admin </LocationMatch> Authentification ================ user.password: super:XXXXXXX fred:XXXXXX acces-file: [groups] admin = super [test:/] fred = r access_log ========== 127.0.0.1 - super[15/Mar/2005:14:40:12 +0100] "GET /repos/dscneu/branches/prod/prod.properties HTTP/1.1" 200 182833 127.0.0.1 - fred [15/Mar/2005:14:40:33 +0100] "GET /repos/test/branches/prod/prod.properties HTTP/1.1" 200 182833 Now the second get should fail. If I change the LocationMatch to this: <LocationMatch "prod.properties$"> order deny,allow deny from all </LocationMatch> This happens in the log: 127.0.0.1 - - [15/Mar/2005:14:41:54 +0100] "GET /repos/dscneu/branches/prod/prod.properties HTTP/1.1" 403 487 thus the <LocationMatch> is evaluated, but I can not additionally require a group for special files. And in the error log: [Tue Mar 15 14:50:27 2005] [error] an unknown filter was not added: includes I permuted pretty much everything, <Files>, <FilesMatch> instead of <LocationMatch>, Auth* options in the <LocationMatch> section, etc. but everytime either all users can access the file even fred, or nobody at all.
