Can you list 4 or 5, for example, and they are all acted upon? Or does Apached just start with the first and stop there.

Then I decided that I only wanted part of the directory (web app) to be locked down. So I added several such Location directives. While it appeared to work . . . well without going into too much detail the application didn't require authentication. So I thought it was my application until I changed the directives back to one for the entire directory/application and it started working again as it should. > Generally, the contents of the matching sections are merged together. How this works for specific directives sometimes takes experimenting. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/sections.html#mergin Be aware also that location /foo includes anything under /foo. If you want more control, use LocationMatch. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
