The parents .htaccess contains:

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
php_value include_path
..:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/mysite:/usr/local/apache2/htdocs/mysite/mysubdir/geshi
DirectoryIndex index.php

and a number of these:

<FilesMatch xxxx>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Section"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/htdocs/mysite/.htpasswd
Require user admin
Options +Indexes
</FilesMatch>

that match specific files in the parent directory so I dont think its
the problem. BTW, neither php nor html are severd from mysdir.

Thanks.
