Hello there,

I need to setup htpasswd protection on a web directory served by Apache.

I also need to permit access to the index file in the specified directory, but block access to any other files or subdirectories.

So I'm using a configuration like this:

<Files index.php>
        Order deny,allow
        Allow from all
</Files>

<Directory "/home/username/www">
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Private Area"
        AuthUserFile /home/username/.htpasswds
        require user bill ben
</Directory>


Can anybody tell me why my override of the password protection for index.php files is being ignored?

Or alternatively tell me a better approach to password an entire web site except for the root level index file.

Any input appreciated.

Cheers

Ben
