Two htaccess files conflicting

[dmacster]

Not used to having to do this.

Our server hosts 3 or so sites for us. In the root, there is an htaccess file containing only

DirectoryIndex index.htm

In one of the sites (the dept using this accesses and updates w/FrontPage), the directory contains an htaccess file that says

# -FrontPage-
 
IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
 
<Limit GET POST>
order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from all
</Limit>
<Limit PUT DELETE>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Limit>
AuthType Basic
AuthName theaegis.com
AuthUserFile /usr/[URL unfurl="true"]www/users/aegis/main/_vti_pvt/service.pwd[/URL]
AuthGroupFile /usr/[URL unfurl="true"]www/users/aegis/main/_vti_pvt/service.grp[/URL]

If the DirectoryIndex index.htm is added to the secondary htaccess, only listing of the files appears online. Without it, the main site home page (index.html) appears fine. But subdiretories that contain their own index.html files show as just a listing.

What the dept wants fixed is to have any subdirectory that has it's own index file to display correctly.

How can I fix that for them?

Sorry that's so long.

Hi

Our server hosts 3 or so sites for us.

That means 3 virtual hosts ? If yes, each can be configured separately without affecting the others. If not, please give more details.

Yes, each can be configured.
