 Marc,
 
 In reply to your prior message there are some areas I do not fully
 understand so in order to help you to help us here is a copy of our
 access.conf file to suggest any possible solutions.
 In reply to your questions ?
 
 Is this in a Directory container?
 >> I am not sure what a directory container is ?
 
 If so, what what?
 
 Where on the filesystem is the htaccess file located?
 All files as per access.conf for web are in /home/httpd/html/
 so have created a suddir under html called markc and put files in there.
 
 >> .htaccess file is located in /home/httpd/  = does work here. ( prevents
 access to main page )
 >> and located in /home/httpd/html/markc/  = does not work here.
 
 Are you sure the Directory container in question covers that location?
 
 >> As I am not sure about directory container I do not know how this
 directory can be covered
 by .htaccess file and rules.
 Or where to make thwe relevent entry in access.conf.

 Is this in a Directory container?
 
 If so, what what?
 
 Where on the filesystem is the htaccess file located?
 
 Are you sure the Directory container in question covers that location?
