i had to deal with this earlier. I put the command ' <options?/> overrideAccess wwwroot </options> ' and I used the read/write permissions of d rwx r-- --- and used nothing to destoy the file permissions. On 7/9/06, Noel Stratton <nstratton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Your stated solution was "Require user non-existent-user in the sub-directory .htaccess files" This will prompt the user for a username and password correct? I guess this would work, but I was hoping to have the forbidden page come up right away instead of the authorization required page come up after the user enters the wrong user name and password three times. If this my only solution I will do it, but I was hoping to find some way to override the root .htaccess file. ________________________________ From: jslive@xxxxxxxxx on behalf of Joshua Slive Sent: Sun 7/9/2006 1:00 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] .htaccess help On 7/8/06, Noel Stratton <nstratton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Is there a way to make the subdirectory .htacces file override the root? It depends on the specific circumstances. Some directives can be overriden, others can't. What was wrong with my suggested solution for your problem?
