[users@httpd] more than one directory per lin

["M.D. DeWar" <ma...@s-wit.net>]

Hello
I want to setup about several dirs that require secret decoder ring to view.
If I use the same .htpasswd file can I put them all in one
statement in the httpd.conf  or does each dir need its own
<directory /some/dir>
 auth basic
    yada
     yada
</directory>

or can I put
<directory /some/dir  another/dir  etc>

Mark

Unless they share a common parent directory, I think you will have to
declare a Directory block for each one. There might be some obscure tricks
(likely to involve mod_rewrite) which could allow you to only have one auth
section, but that's more trouble than it's worth.
