How do I free up access to a sub directory?

[rockhopper]

Here is a snippet of my httpd file:

 

<Directory />

Order Deny,Allow

Deny from all

Allow from 192.168.1.0

</Directory>

 

<Directory /var/www>

Order Allow,Deny

Allow from All

</Directory>

 

very very simple, apparently, so am I  ???

I want to deny access to root, and grant access to my web folder. I guess I do not yet understand the mechanism behind it.

Thank you for your inut. For now, its time to put it on the web.
