I know I have seen this before, but I was unable to locate a thread when I searched. Thanks in advance, Bryant

I'm not exactly certain what you mean. Can you give an example or word it another way?

I am trying to restirct access to my "newuser" directory. I want it only to open upon being referred from my payment gateway or my office IP address. for eg. my customer pays at www.payme.com/pay.cig, then I only want my directory www.myhostingsite.com/newsuser/ to only allow access from www.payme.com/pay.cig and my home ip as referring pages? Hopefully this is clear enough. thanks.

I think you want...

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/FAQ-G.html#remote-auth-only

Deny from all
Allow from .domain.com
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/conf/htpasswd.users
AuthName "special directory"
Require valid-user
Satisfy any

Though this is for either password or URL access, you could probably skip the satisfy part and the Auth/Require lines
