.httaccess help

i want to make a .htaccess with a password for a folder but when i do it it wont work

this is what i have for .htaccess and .htpasswd

.htpasswd

Code:

shady:mypassword

.htaccess

Code:

AuthUserFile /my/full/path/to/.htpasswd

AuthName Shady

AuthType Basic

require valid-user

is this code right ?

you could add a 'AuthGroupFile /dev/null' after AuthUserFile i think, also, make sure you hit enter after typing the user:pass bit in the .htpasswd file. the code looks right from here though...

Is your password in .htpasswd MD5 encrypted?

Also, what's not working? Is the htaccess window showing up at least? But the password's just not working?

.htaccess for folder blocking should read:

Code:

AuthUserFile *PATH TO .htpasswd*

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

AuthName ByPassword

AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>

require user *USERNAME LISTED IN .htpasswd*

</Limit>

mine looks like this

Code:

AuthUserFile /full/path/to/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile /dev/null

AuthName "Private Area"

AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST>

require valid-user

</Limit>

is this ok ? because it seams to work

yup, that's fine. didn't know you hadn't used md5 for your pass though, and i'm pretty sure that it needs an empty line after it... pretty sure anyway hehe
