Re: Protecting single files via .htaccess ?

[jbardin@imagelinks.com]

i am just saying there might be better luck in finding ananswer to
questions asked if they look on the program specific mailing lists and
forums. and most of the software questions that come across this mailing
list do not have such exstensive FAQs and online documentation as apahce
does. so yes it is a valid question and i did take the time to find the
docs and find the answers i am jsut saying questions concerning such
widely used and documented programs might be misplaced and might get
overlooked by such users as my self who often shrug off threads that
concern such easlily findable solutions. the only reason i answerd the
question was becasuei want to teach people how to use the linux
community to its fullest. So the real answer i was providing was to make
sure you (the user) takes time before hand to browse through documention
and to ask yourself the question and make yourslef find the answer
before you rely on someone elses help. casue we learn from our mistakes
and we laern from doing things ourslefs rather than leting someone else
tell you. goes back to a quickand easy saying


Give a person a fish -> you feed him for a day

Teach someone to fish -> you feed him for life

and yes the mailing list is a tool for getting answers to your question
its just that i dont like coming into work and having to download 150
msgs half of which are how to password protect apache files.

p.s. the first place i always look is in /usr/doc
