how to encrypt certain dirs?

[Wizumwalt]

Hey all,

I've got apache2 running but I have a directory that I'd like for my users to only have access to when authorized and have everything under this dir, and other dirs, to be encrypted.

How is this done?

You can assign usernames and passwords at the directory level by using .htaccess.

Here's a rather simple tutorial on setting in up:

You will also (in addition to the tutorial above) need to change a setting in your httpd.conf:
Change:  AllowOverride None
To:        AllowOverride AuthConfig

Once you got the hang of it, I'd also recommend taking a more in depth look:

Cheers.
