Blocking parent directory but not child direcotries

Postby aphatschi » 08. November 2010 17:38

Hi!

I've got the following directory structure:

Code: Select all
/foo/
/foo/bar
/foo/baz
...
/foo/*


/foo/* means that it is a dynamic structure and any directory could be created.

Now I want /foo/ to be unaccessible and all its sub-directories /foo/* to be accessible.

How can I achieve that? Do I need mod_rewrite?
Thank you for your help!

Put an empty index.html Document into the parent directory.

Thats no solution for the problem. The index.html file just prevents the Apache to list out folderstructure. This can be done by Apache configuration too.
We don't provide any support via personal channels like PM, email, Skype, TeamViewer!

Yes, but you cannot see the directory any longer.

an empty index.html is perhaps the quick and dirty way.
but how would a proper solution look like?
