<Directory> in .htaccess

[Znupi]

I'm using Apache 2.2 and trying to deny access to a folder using the <Directory> directive in a .htaccess file. I'm using:

<Directory "K:/htdocs/site/download">
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All
</Directory>

The problem is, it doesn't work from the .htaccess file (which is placed in the "K:/htdocs/site" directory), the server gives a 500 error, but it works if I put it in the httpd.conf file. Why?

An .htaccess file is already assumed to be modifying the directory in which the file resides. So you just need to cut out the directory tags.

Oooooh you're right... I'm tired :o... just put a .htaccess in the download directory with

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All

and it works... thanks!
