How to remove .htaccess password protection from a subdirectory

Image
By User


I have password protected my entire website using .htaccess but I would like to expose one of the sub directories so that it can be viewed without a password.



How can I disable htaccess password protection for a sub directory? Specifically what is the .htaccess syntax.



Here is my .htaccess file that is placed in the root of my ftp 



AuthName "Site Administratrion"

AuthUserFile /dir/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile /dev/null



AuthName secure

AuthType Basic

require user username1

order allow,deny

allow from all

    You need to create a new .htaccess in the concerned directory and include "Satisfy Any" directive to it.

    You need to add another .htaccess file to the subdirectory that overrides the authentication. .htaccess cascades upwards, i.e. it will look in the current folder, then go up a level and so on.

    Adding to RageZ's answer, I used this in the Server Directives:

    <Directory /var/www/protected/>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Production"
    AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
    Require valid-user
    </Directory>

    <Directory /var/www/protected/unprotected>
    Satisfy Any
    </Directory>


    Awesome. Thanks RageZ!

Slow Android emulator

By User
I have a 2.67 GHz Celeron processor, 1.21 GB of RAM on a x86 Windows XP Professional machine. My understanding is that the Android emulator should start fairly quickly on such a machine, but for me it does not. I have followed all instructions in setting up the IDE, SDKs, JDKs and such and have had some success in staring the emulator quickly but is very particulary. How can I, if possible, fix this problem?

Java Urban Myths

By User
Along the line of C++ Urban Myths and Perl Myths : What are the Java Urban Myths? That is, the ideas and conceptions about Java that are common but have no actual roots in reality . As a Java programmer, what ideas held by your fellow Java programmers have you had to disprove so often that you've come to believe they all learned at the feet of the same drunk old story-teller? Ideally, you would express these myths in a single sentence, and include an explanation of why they are false.
