In reply to your questions ? Is this in a Directory container? >> I am not sure what a directory container is ? If so, what what? Where on the filesystem is the htaccess file located? All files as per access.conf for web are in /home/httpd/html/ so have created a suddir under html called markc and put files in there. >> .htaccess file is located in /home/httpd/ = does work here. ( prevents access to main page ) >> and located in /home/httpd/html/markc/ = does not work here. Are you sure the Directory container in question covers that location? >> As I am not sure about directory container I do not know how this directory can be covered by .htaccess file and rules. Or where to make thwe relevent entry in access.conf. =========================================================================== =================== ACCESS.CONF # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. <Directory /home/httpd/html> # This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes", # "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews". # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you (or at least, not yet). Options Indexes FollowSymLinks # This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can # override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo", # "AuthConfig", and "Limit" #AllowOverride None AllowOverride AuthConfig # Controls who can get stuff from this server. order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> # /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased # CGI directory exists, if you have that configured. # <Directory /home/httpd/cgi-bin> <Directory /home/httpd/html> AllowOverride none Options All </Directory> # Allow server status reports, with the URL of http://servername/server-status # Change the ".your_domain.com" to match your domain to enable. #<Location /server-status> #SetHandler server-status #order deny,allow #deny from all #allow from .your_domain.com #</Location> # There have been reports of people trying to abuse an old bug from pre-1.1 # days. This bug involved a CGI script distributed as a part of Apache. # By uncommenting these lines you can redirect these attacks to a logging # script on phf.apache.org. Or, you can record them yourself, using the script # support/phf_abuse_log.cgi. <Location /cgi-bin/phf*> deny from all ErrorDocument 403 http://phf.apache.org/phf_abuse_log.cgi </Location> # You may place any other directories or locations you wish to have # access information for after this one.
