Apache2 Deny Access to Directory

[rowanparker]

I am running WinXP and Apache2, and would like to stop all users from accessing a certain folder. Would i use the httpd.conf or .htaccess? and how would i do it?

[darksidepuffin]

httpd.conf:


<Directory />
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Directory>


change / to the directory you want to protect.

For more information see: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#directory
