Hi again, Apologies for the double post. The question was to set "Require group <group-name>" for a dynamically set group-name, based on directory/location where the Require is specified. One potential answer was to set an (environment?) variable via mod_rewrite. That is possible of course, but it seems that using variables with Require directive is not possible.
I appreciate any guidance on this, Thank you! - Levent On Fri, Jul 8, 2011 at 1:39 AM, S. Levent Yilmaz <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanks for the response.
