Sometime Today, Naba Kumar assembled some asciibets to say: > I have the htdocs/ dir protected by .htaccess file. There are some > subdirs in this directory which I don't want to protect. For example, I > have htdocs/images/ directory which I want to give access to everyone. > > I tried all sorts of .htaccess configurations (within my limit) in these > (all access) directories, but I am still not able to give open access to > these directories. Could someone suggest me a way out of it?
You have a common problem that is described somewhere in the apache manual. Your .htaccess file protects your .htaccess file. In other words, users cannot access the subdirectories not because the permissions in .htaccess are wrong, but because they can't access the .htaccess files in the first place. You need to put all your rules in one .htaccess file only - the one in htdocs. I don't know how you'd do this, but maybe try something with the <Files> section of the .htaccess file. AFAIK, you can't reduce restrictions on subdirectories through the .htaccess files. Your best bet is to make changes in httpd.conf - if you have access to it. -- Support bacteria -- it's the only culture some people have! _______________________________________________________________ Don't miss the 2002 Sprint PCS Application Developer's Conference August 25-28 in Las Vegas -- http://devcon.sprintpcs.com/adp/index.cfm _______________________________________________ linux-india-help mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/linux-india-help
