I have copied some code (for Wordpress permalinks) into my .htaccess file in the root directory. All has been working fine. This is the code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I've now created a new directory that I want to password protect using .htaccess. I've set that up (using a ht.access file in the directory I want to protect) but when I try to browse to the password protected directory I get re-directed to the main sites index.php page.
I'm guessing I need to add something to the .htaccess file in the root directory? Is this correct and if so could someone tell me the code I need to add?

htaccess rewrite rule includes setting a combination of rewrite condition ( RewriteCond ) tests along with a corresponding rule ( RewriteRule ) if the prior conditions pass. In most cases, these rules should be placed at any point after the RewriteEngine on line in the . htaccess file located in the website's docroot.
The term "mod_rewrite" refers to a module for the Apache web server, which “rewrites” or redirects requests to specified content. Basically, the module transforms incoming requests to a path in the web server's file system. This makes it possible to "rewrite" a URL.
Step 1 — Enabling mod_rewrite In order for Apache to understand rewrite rules, we first need to activate mod_rewrite . It's already installed, but it's disabled on a default Apache installation. Use the a2enmod command to enable the module: sudo a2enmod rewrite.
Put this to your password protected subdir .htaccess file.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
#Disable rewriting
RewriteEngine Off
</IfModule>
