Hello! I want to combine some settings in my httpd.conf and .htaccess file. Example; In my httpd.conf I have: <Directory "/www/html/secure"> Order deny,allow deny from all </Directory> And I want to be able to allow some users, and I want do define them in the .htaccess file.. I also want that _if_ the .htaccess file gets deleted or anything, the config from httpd.conf take over and denies people. Well, this is how I want to do this; I'm using mod_rewrite to set some enviroment variables based on cookies, example: RewriteRule .* - [E=AUTHED:OK,C] RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*auth=ok.*$ SetEnvIf ${AUTHED} OK AUTHED I want the httpd.conf to have something like: Order Deny,Allow deny from all allow from env=AUTHED So in the .htaccess file, I set the E=AUTHED enviroment variable, that works fine. But I not able to get it in the httpd.conf later, nor if I test and put the httpd.conf later in the .htaccess file. I have also tried stuff like "SetEnvIf E=AUTHED OK AUTHED" but without luck.. How can this be done? Thanks Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
