somthing about .htaccess

[ur...@sat.net.pk]

hello...!

i have put .htaccess in DOCUMENTROOT so it means it applied on every file and subdirectoy under the document root.
What if i want that there is a subdirectory in documentroot in which that .htaccess file will not work and that subdirectory will open without any username password.
So how to work this out...???

And in document root i put >>> AllowOverride All
and if in any subdirectory i put >>> AllowOverride None
what will be its effect...as i think it has no effect.
wat do u think...???

regards

In general, this can't be done.  Once you have applied a directive to a
directory, it will also apply to all subdirectories.  However, there are
many special cases where you can override the original configuration in a
subdirectory.  Here is an example that may be useful in your case (you can
put these in .htaccess files rather than directory sections if you wish):

<Directory /a/b/c>
require valid-user
</directory>

<Directory /a/b/c/d>
Satisfy Any
Allow from all
</Directory>
