Inhereted authentication.

[Sewug]

I have a virtual host set up that has been used for Subversion repositories via WebDAV. This has been secured using basic authentication and has worked well for a while. I am now in the position where I need to have a location below root that will contain some php management scripts for the site (to allow the setting up of accounts etc.). I appear to be having some trouble in formulating a way to create an area that can be accessed and does not need authentication, off the root of the site. Below is an attempt to add a /test below root, however I keep getting a 403. I'm not even sure if this is possible. Does anyone have any pointers as to what I need to do, or is it a case of needing to reorganise the structure (causing the users some disruption)?

 

<VirtualHost *:443>

Humm....I dont think it can be done.

 

What you want is:

www.example.org/    - to be password (htaccess) protected

www.example.org/test/  - not to be password protected.

 

So far as Im aware you cant get the above working. I could be wrong however.

 

Can you not use another virtualhost for managing/accessing your php scripts.

You could have www.svn.example.org
