title: Apache .htaccess password protect with relative path
body: <p>I want to create a .htaccess file in my DocumentRoot, so that the directory is password protected.</p>
  
  <p>But the password file, I want to specify by using the relative path of DocumentRoot.</p>
  
  <p>So, if I am checking out the code in another system, it just works as it is. The password file will be part of my source control. </p>
  
  <p>How can I access the parent directory of the DocumentRoot from .htaccess file?</p>
