Hi Neil,
Use a "Location" directive in your httpd.conf instead. e.g.:
<Location /downloads>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "FGIC Downloads"
AuthUserFile d:\apache\apache2\conf\passwords
AuthGroupFile d:\apache\apache2\conf\groups
Require group FGICMoodys
</Location>
"Directory" directives apply to the filesystem, "Location" directives apply to the URL
space.
See the Apache manual for more details:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#location
Regards,
Morgan
