Wordpress multisite subdomain setup. I can't for the life of me figure out =
how to force apache to allow a child .htaccess for htpasswd authentication =
in a subdirectory of a WP multisite domain. Ie:
/ [root WP server with its own .htaccess]
/directory1 [child .htaccess for htpasswd use]
Any attempt to display a file in /directory1 apache gives a 404.
I've tried rewrites in the parent .htaccess up the creek to no avail.
Love suggestions.
