http://www.inch.com/info/tech/faqs/htaccess/htaccess.php

Goes to the page it is supposed to.
It is a form to create an encrypted username/password combo for htacess.

Re: Password Protecting Web Server Directories - Apache Only
It just took me to the error page. Hmm that's kind of weird...

It said....


The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please try the following:

If you typed the page address in the Address bar, make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Open the www.inch.com home page, and then look for links to the information you want.
Click the Back button to try another link.
Click Search to look for information on the Internet.

Re: Password Protecting Web Server Directories - Apache Only
Examples would be:

AuthUserFile /vws/UserName/public_html/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /vws/UserName/public_html/.htgroup

AuthGroupFile /home/UserName/www/.htgroup
AuthGroupFile /home/UserName/www/.htpasswd

Enjoy! smile


In my site case would it be?
AuthGroupFile /home/Default/LE-Designs.net/htdocs/.htgroup
or
AuthGroupFile/home/Default/LE-Designs.net/htdocs/mypictures/.htgroup

but in home I'm not sure how I tried it both ways and did not work.

You may have to contact your Host company to learn your server's actual path

Re: Password Protecting Web Server Directories - Apache Only
You should have your password in a database accessed by a php asp document. This is a double measure to make sure people cannot directly access the document.

We use this at Demonz to protect the client access to administrative sections of the pages through our login fields. Another popular example of storing access passwords in a database is http://www.joomla.org . In fact, it is open source software so you can get a fair idea of how it is set up.
