Thanks, Hans. Oddly, I had tried that before, and it didn't seem
to work, but maybe I had a configuration problem because it seems to
work now. It does appear that I can access only the files within
/pub, and not even browse to those directories, which probably makes
the most sense. I think I like this better than just preventing
access to pmwiki.php because as I said before I could still browse to
the pmwiki root directory and look around or run scripts, etc.<br>
<br>
I still wonder why I couldn't get it to work in /home/blah/pmwiki but
maybe it really was a server configuration that I couldn't change.<br>
<br>
Thanks again,<br>
<br>
Jon<br>

<br> Deny from All<br><br>and create another .htaccess file in the farm's pub/ directory with this:<br><br> Allow from All<br><br>The first .htaccess file prevents public access to the farm installation,<br>including
pmwiki.php and the scripts/ and cookbook/ directories.<br>The second .htaccess file allows browser access to the pub/ directory<br>and its subdirectories like css/, guiedit/ and skins/.<br><br><br><br>Best,<br>~Hans<br><br>
