Subject: RE: [users@httpd] I want to password protect all directories except
 one....

Instead of putting an .htaccess file all over the server's directories, copy
the same directives that you have in your .htaccess file and make a new
entry in your conf file that will look like that:
<directory />
        AllowOverride Auth
AuthUserFile location of .htpasswd file 
AuthName "Welcome message, Please Login" 
AuthType Basic 
require valid-user
</directory>

Alias /public /route/to/public/folder

<Directory /public>
   Order allow,deny
   Allow from all
</Directory>

This should do the work.

All the best,
Jeff Cohen

Subject: [users@httpd] I want to password protect all directories except

my .htaccess file looks like: 
AuthUserFile location of .htpasswd file 
AuthName "Welcome message, Please Login" 
AuthType Basic 
require valid-user 
Which works just fine, but since it's in my top level 
directory, it protects all the way down the tree 
However, I want to setup a directory that I can place 
some dynamically produced html files that non-users 
can access. 
Do I just put a new .htaccess file in the directory 
I don't want protected? or can I specify in my top level 
.htacess the directory not to protect? 
Thanks 
George
