Hi

Question is simple:
how to protect .svn folders (also in subfolders) with .htaccess file?

So far I have .svn/ folder inaccessible but .svn/README.txt may be read via web.

Example is here:

http://wkurzonamadzia.pl/.svn/README.txt

Corresponding .htaccess is currently:

Options -indexes
<IfModule mod_expires.c>
<FilesMatch "\.(gif|jpe?g|png|js|css)$">
ExpiresActive on
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 day"
</FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

<FilesMatch "\.svn/.*">
order deny,allow
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

<Files .htaccess>
order deny,allow
deny from all
</Files>

I believe that the following mod_rewrite will give you the desired affect:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .*\.svn/.* - [F]

Hope it helps.

Hi, I'm new around here!

I serve some static files (CSS, JS etc) of my application, using a symbolic link. These are under SVN so I can see the .SVN subdirectories. I'm not sure where I should put the .htaccess file, I can't find anything already made...

Put the .htaccess file at the root of the directory that is being served (ie: the destination folder of your symlink).

Cheers,
