.htaccess problem

[paulsbooker]

Hi Folks

I have a .htaccess file set up under web root but i would like to have this restriction lifted under a subdirectory, what form will the nested .htaccess file assume and will it be necessary to adjust anything in the httpd.conf file

Regards
Paul

This question really does not have anything to do with PHP!

But... I'll answer your questions any-who.

Just create another .htaccess in each sub-folder. Let's say in the root you have

Deny from all

but in the sub-folder /public/ you want anyone to access it, so reverse it with..

Allow from all
