.htaccess. deny root, allow specific subfolder. Possible?

How can I deny access to http://sub.mydomain.com/, but allow for (completely) http://sub.mydomain.com/test (or http://sub.mydomain.com/test/)

There is a magento back-end behind http://sub.mydomain.com/test/

Solution

  • .htaccess directives apply to that directory, and all subdirectories thereof, so you should disallow access in your DocumentRoot,

    http://sub.mydomain.com/.htaccess:

    Order deny,allow
Deny from all

    And override that in any specific subdirectories you would like to allow access to,

    http://sub.mydomain.com/test/.htaccess:

    Order allow,deny
Allow from all
