Post subject: Allow editing of .htaccess via WebDAV
Archived from groups: alt>apache>configuration (more info?)

Hi,

the following lines in the apache default configuration deny access to
..htaccess files via WebDAV.

<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Files>

My first question is: The regular expression ^\.ht machtes only
..htaccess Files in the root of the server, as far as I understand. But
I'm also not allowed to edit .htaccess in subfolders. Why?

I have WebDAV enabled for a special subfolder called 'webdav'. My idea
was to allow editing of .htaccess only in that subfolder.

As far as I understand, this will not work with the <Files> section,
because it ignores urls and works on the file system.

My idea was to use <Location> to deny editing for all urls but these
starting with /webdav/. Is that possible? Could somebody give me a hint
how to do it?

regards,
Achim
