About .htaccess
Hello all!
I have the next problem: if I want to use .htaccess features, I
must not just put the .htaccess file in the directory I want to protect,
but in the <Directory ...> section of httpd.conf
Is that normal of perhaps am I doing something wrong?
Best regards,
Carlos.

Try setting AllowOverride All at server-config level (i.e. outside of
all <Directory> and <VirtualHost> blocks. However, this is actually the
default so it should work already - unless you switch it off somewhere
else... (I think if you have even one AllowOverride directive anywhere,
it switches off default behaviour everywhere).

Ok. But is there any way to do that I can create my .htaccess
without insert anything in httpd.conf?. I don't want insert a new
<Directory ...> block for each time I want to protect a directory, or
apply a new directive. Is there any way to achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
Carlos.

Remember that .htaccess files are not essential for password protection:
.htaccess is just a method of making certain directives apply to a
particular directory (including those needed by mod_auth for password
protection). To make .htaccess work you need to allow it to override the
directives in httpd.conf - that usually means doing:
<Directory /path/to/dir>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
but read the docs for AllowOverride to see what else it can do...
Note that you can also make a directory password protected by putting
the mod_auth directives directly into a Directory container in htpd.conf
and never using .htaccess (that is what you do now, I think).
