Default .htaccess Password Generator

Trying to add this for my Admin Panel
http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/

But can't get it to work, must be doing something wrong.
I really don't know about this part:
Quote:
2) Path to .htpasswd file relative to your server's root directory: (e.g. - /home/site_name/)
Or
Quote:
3) File names to protect (Optional: leave empty if protecting folder):
Separate multiple files with a comma. ie: protected.htm, protected2.htm
Or this:

Quote:
Upload ".htpasswd" to the root or a non publically accessible directory on your server.
Upload ".htaccess" to the directory you wish to protect, and inside this file, verify that the server path to the .htpasswd file above is valid:
AuthUserFile /home/mysite/.htpasswd
If you've uploaded the ".htpasswd" file to simply the same directory as your ".htaccess" file (less secure than root directory), then the path would look something like this instead:

AuthUserFile /home/mysite/public_html/mydirectory/.htpasswd
If anyone can simplify this for me I would be able to do it.

I like Dynamic Drive but these might be easier to use:

.htaccess authentication generator:
http://www.htaccesstools.com/htaccess-authentication/

.htaccess password generator:
http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/

As for the path, in your admincp on the bottom left click Maintenance now click View PHP Info and your path will be shown there. Most prefer to upload the .htpasswd file (this file contains the password) into a directory just above public_html i.e.

/home/useraccount/htpasswds/.htpasswd

Instead of:

/home/useraccount/public_html/.htpasswd

This way the file is above the normal web folder level per say i.e. more secure .

When viewing the PHP Info look for _SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]

Now after you create the .htaccess and .htpasswd files you upload the .htaccess to the /admincp directory and the .htpasswd to the level above public_html in a folder called .htpasswds (or create one if it does not exist).

*You must ensure though that the path in the .htaccess is correct and that it knows where to locate .htpasswd otherwise how does it know if your password is correct .

Just tried all that and all i get now for the Admin CP is:
Quote:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Took away the files and all is back to how it was..

I'll just keep reading and trying I guess..

--------------- Added [DATE]1326447114[/DATE] at [TIME]1326447114[/TIME] ---------------

Quote:
_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]
/home/useraccount/public_html/forums

The AuthUserFile path is where I am getting problems, it's wrong
This is what TLS said for the path:
Quote:
/home/useraccount/htpasswds/.htpasswds
I tried to use this one but it gave me the error:
/home/useraccount/htpasswds/forums/admincp/.htpasswds

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Will do ForceHSS

Kind of understand it more now, so I am guessing this can't be done for Boards which are on your Forum can it?
As they don't have their own folders to put the htaccess file into
