Adding Apache Security to a Static Symbolic Link Directory

I want to make a directory under my Django app (the Sphinx documentation) available at a URL, but I'd like to add Apache Basic Authentication to it. How would I do that? Putting an .htaccess file in the directory doesn't seem to make a difference.

0	You cannot add password protection to a static-only directory. If you need password protection, then use a static/cgi/php symlink instead. Hope that helps! permanent link answered 19 Feb '13, 12:22 seanf 12.2k●4●21●36 accept rate: 37%
