I guess this would work, but I was hoping to have the forbidden page come up right away instead of the authorization required page come up after the user enters the wrong user name and password three times. If this my only solution I will do it, but I was hoping to find some way to override the root .htaccess file. > > Just add > ErrorDocument 401 > http://yoursite.example.com/path/to/denied/messages.html > to the .htaccess in the subdirectory. Ooops. No, actually, that won't work. You'll just need to live with the password prompt or do some more complex stuff with mod_rewrite.
