Topher’s Scribbles

It took me a while to figure this out. I wanted to deny the public access to a directory, like /deny and allow the public in a subdirectory like /deny/allow.

This was done by the specific order of Allow, Deny. If you mix these up, you will either allow all or deny all. Anyway, here’s what you do to deny users to /deny and allow users in /deny/allow.

<Directory /deny>
Order allow,deny
Allow from insert IP's
</Directory>

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