Hi, I searched the web, apache documentation and mailing lists about this issue. Either nobody mentioned this before or i missed a simple point somewhere. Whatever, here is the deal: I used .htaccess file in order to protect a directory using basic authentication. Authentication works well but my problem is that i can not see my protected directory in the parent directory's directory listing. Normally i can see all non-protected directories in the parent directory's directory listing. I found out that exlusion from directory listing is caused by the "require user emrah" line in .htaccess file. However i could not find a way to solve this problem. I want my protected directory to be listed in the parent directory's directory listing. Is this "problem" normal? You can blame me :) if i missed a very simple point Apache conf can be send on demand Here is the .htacces file: AuthType Basic AuthName "Access Test" AuthUserFile /usr/local/parola/parolalar require user emrah Thanks. emrah --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
