nginx to apache regex directymatch converstion

[therealgtron]

this is to protect multiple directories in nginx. i need to make this work on a different apache server. if anyone could help convert it for me that would be great.

## Protect
location ~ /(director1/¦director2/¦director3/).* {
fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
deny all;
}

i looked at <DirectoryMatch> but i know i have it wrong.

## Protect
<DirectoryMatch "^/(director1/¦director2/¦director3/)">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all
</DirectoryMatch>

i looked at <DirectoryMatch> but i know i have it wrong.

Specify the path or is the path unknown?

<DirectoryMatch "^/var/www/folder/(director1¦director2¦director3)">

i seems directorymatch doesn't work in .htaccess. i don't want this in httpd.conf. i guess i'll have to think of something else.

You could put a "Deny from all" directive in a .htaccess file in each of those three directories.

Or you can enforce the access restriction based on the URL instead of the server filepath by using SetEnvIf and the "Deny from env=var" syntax.
