Generally, the contents of the matching sections are merged together. How this works for specific directives sometimes takes experimenting. http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/sections.html#mergin Be aware also that location /foo includes anything under /foo. If you want more control, use LocationMatch. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
