Business Legions - HOW TO MANAGE SUB-DIRECTORY PERMISSIONS IN APACHE

If you want to set permissions for subdirectories e.g restrict public access to /home/folder1/ but allow access to /home/folder1/folder2 then this is one way of doing it:

NOTE: I’m using VestaCP, an open source control panel for web hosting so these steps may not work for you

Copy and the default.stpl and default.tpl files in /usr/local/vesta/data/templates/web/httpd/ e.g default-modified.stpl  (I decided to do this since the https.conf file gets rewritten every time I modify the website config via the VestaCP dashboard)

Edit the copied files and add the following:

<Directory %docroot%/home/folder1>
Order deny,allow
deny from all
allow from x.x.x.x
</Directory>

<Directory %docroot%/home/folder1/folder2/>
Allow from all
</Directory>

Restart the httpd service using

service httpd restart

Test by accessing the two folders using a public IP address (e.g from your mobile phone) and the other from the static IP address x.x.x.x
