Run two vhosts that deliver the same content from the same DocumentRoot |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
One has jack and jill as users in htpasswd with no acls in place |
| 67 |
The other has john and jacob as users in a different htpasswd with IP |
| 68 |
acls in place |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
Trying to specify access rules to a group of users and not to other |
| 71 |
users all in the same context is a problem that will drive you nuts in a |
| 72 |
day. Rather side-step it entirely by applying your rules globaly to two |
| 73 |
different things. |
