[users@httpd] Is per file configuration easily possible?
Hi
If I have an index.html in directory xxx that I want to be accessible
only from the yyy domain I know that I can use something like:
<Files index.html>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from yyy
</Files>
in a .htaccess file or enclosed in <Directory xxx> ... </Directory> in
the main configuration. However, it will block access to every
index.html from this directory down, until told not to. To stop this
configuration from propagating down the directory tree, I need something
like:
<FilesMatch ".*">
Allow from all
</FilesMatch>
for all contained directories.
Is there any better way to associate configuration with a single file?
The reason I ask is that I'm porting an existing site developed using
Netscape/iPlanet/Sun serving software, where many directories contain
.nsconfig files to provide per file access control.
Thanks
Steven

I really hadn't considered to looking at mod_rewrite for access control,
but it is documented:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/access.html#rewrite
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/rewrite/rewrite_guide.html#access

Unfortunately, we have 600 accounts controlling different parts of the
site, so I need to delegate some control.
Thanks

Well, you always have mod_rewrite as a last resort.
But if you're able to put stuff in httpd.conf, it's always better,
cause it gives better performance.

Thanks, I hadn't considered that. Not possible in .htaccess files, of
course.
