DirectoryMatch

I would like to create a DirectoryMatch or "Directory ~" directive in my server config which allows any visitor to access a specific file within that directory, but not within it's sub directories.

It should be something like this, but i'm quite novice in regexp .. and it's blocking everything.

<DirectoryMatch "/usr/local/apache/htdocs/1/1$">

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All

<File index.html>

Order Allow,Deny
Allow from All

</File>


</DirectoryMatch>

If i only specify the directory without the nuts and bolts the directive will allow access to http://myserver/1/1/index.html, but not to http://myserver/1/1/something.html. Unfortunatelly it will allow access to http://myserver/1/1/1/index.html as well ...

What exact files or directories do you want to allow and disallow access?

You probably should try locationmatch instead -> http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/co...l#locationmatch

<LocationMatch "^/1/1/?$">

so that http://myserver/1/1/blahblah/index.html doesn't match and allow thru.

actually i only want to allow access to index.html and only under the directory /1/1. So for example /1/2/index.html should not much...

>> actually i only want to allow access to index.html

Not enough info, please answer the following:

1) How about any other files in /1/1/ dir?
2) How did you set your hyperlink from other pages?
like this -> http://www.domain.com/1/1/index.html
or this -> http://www.domain.com/1/1
or this -> http://www.domain.com/1/1/
3) If you allow access only to /1/1/index.html but not /1/1/pic.jpg, do you have any hyperlinks on your /1/1/index.html page at all? If so, link to where?
4) Any subdirs under /1/1/? allow or deny?

You need to give more examples so we have a clue what exactly do you want.
