Hello there, I need to setup htpasswd protection on a web directory served by Apache.I also need to permit access to the index file in the specified directory, but block access to any other files or subdirectories.
So I'm using a configuration like this: <Files index.php> Order deny,allow Allow from all </Files> <Directory "/home/username/www"> AuthType Basic AuthName "Private Area" AuthUserFile /home/username/.htpasswds require user bill ben </Directory>Can anybody tell me why my override of the password protection for index.php files is being ignored?
Or alternatively tell me a better approach to password an entire web site except for the root level index file.
Any input appreciated. Cheers Ben --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
