Use another directory stanza in your main httpd.conf which references the subdir you want unprotecting. Perhaps .htaccess files are off - and with more than 100 directories, you should leave them off, especially if some are nested.

PS: i have more then 100 directory's and i dont want to put separately in each an authentication block and only in the directory/subdirectory where i want free access no authentication block Best RegardsCaius Toate cele bune,Caius Polgar ##################################################Deosebim doua tipuri de pedepse.
