    Can i have more than one .htaccess or .htpassword files to protect the same directory, for example i am using amember and paypal for my adult site, because of paypal new TOS i have changed to another Billing company. I currently have memebers that use amember and paypal when they signed up, This new billing company has it's own, sign up form and site integrator that allow My members instant access, Anyway in order to continue allowing my current members access i need to keep the current .htaccess and .htpassword files. What i would like to know is can i add another .htaccess and .htpassword file to the same directory for new members and what conflicts might ariase. i think i explained that well enough.

    thanks

    It seems to me that it would be impossible to have 2 files with the same name! It must be named .htaccess, unless you can configure your server somehow, to process something like .htaccess2 files.

    Anybody else have ideas?

    Can i copy and paste the current users name and passwords from one .htaccess file to another, then delete the old .htaccess file? Will the still allow my current members acces to my site.

    With aMember, you have to add members to aMember database, as aMember's .htpasswd fiels rebuilds compeltely
    every time it is changed.
