Hello, I have a directory (public_data) where I turned on the Indexes to see all the files and directories in it. This directory is accessible by everyone, no restriction. However, I want to protect with userName and Password the directory "private" in it. I did: <Directory "/web/public_data/private"> Options Indexes IndexOptions FancyIndexing AuthType Basic AuthName "Password Protected" AuthUserFile /data/private/.htpasswd Require valid-user Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> But when I activated the authentication (AuthType, AuthName, AuthUserFile, Require), the directory "private" dissapear from the list. Is it possible to see the directory in the listing of public_data and be password protected? I'm using Apache-2.0.54 and mod_auth and mod_ssl are enabled. Also my OS is Debian. The strange thing is I have the same configuration on Apache-1.3 and it's working. Thank you for your help!
