.htaccess Denying Directory Access

#1

I can’t seem to figure out what is wrong with this .htaccess directive since it seems to work on every other host

<Directory /nobodycanenter>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from all

#2

That won’t work as written on any Apache server, as Directory can only be used in the top-level httpd.conf or within a VirtualHost container.

To do this with .htaccess, use only the Order and Deny lines and place the .htaccess file in the directory you want to deny access to.
