consafos Posted July 15, 2003 Share Posted July 15, 2003 I have a site under development which is currently password protected by Apache using .htaccess. I would like to put up a holding page that would not be password protected, while keeping the rest of the site secure while I finish developing it! Is this possible? All the documentation I've seen so far only allows you to protect whole directories, which is a problem because osCommerce is installed at the document root..

Guest Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 Just place the file that you dont want password protected in the main directory, this file wont be password protected, other the files in the sub-folders. -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
consafos Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 Unfortunately all my files are already in the main directory, so I can't move the holding page to a higher directory.. any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 have you tried using: <FilesMatch "*.php"> AuthName "Member Only" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /html/username/.htpasswd require valid-user </FilesMatch> then the outside world could browse html you can use multiple directives of this to specify exactly what you want to block if you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Unfortunately all my files are already in the main directory, so I can't move the holding page to a higher directory.. any other ideas? Copy all of the other files to a pssword protected sub-diretory, leave the holding page in the main directory and unpassword protect it. -Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
