ok, i have an htaccess file in the root directory of my site used for error page redirections... i also have a htaccess file in the directory "sql/sql/" used for password protection. since i added the htaccess file to the root directory, the other one doesn't work.

what i need to know is how to password protect the directoy "sql/sql" form the root directory.

any help would be appreciated.

thnx

It might be helpful if you posted the contents of your .htaccess files. It sounds like the root one is cancelling the other and they shouldn't.
