Is it possible to create two .htaccess files under the same domain?
e.g. one for the entire site mydomain.com and one for mydomain.com/folder

I want to do this 'cause I want to create different custom 404 error pages for two different sections of my site.

Your better off configuring .htaccess to use groups and realms. Much information is available at httpd.apache.org, as well as other sources on the web.

Thanks, petard. I'll look into it, but I'm now a bit busy with rik's post (http://americanthundertv.com/) :p

Hey! I'm back. Now I couldn't find my way at httpd.apache.org, so I searched Google for ".htaccess groups realms" which brought up many results. None seems to be relevant though :( Do you know a particular guide or tutorial that would help? I'd really appreciate it.
