htaccess

[NTLDR]

Here is the basic contents that are needed. Apache needs to be compiled with mod_mysql_auth if I remember correctly:

AuthType Basic 
AuthName "*My Forums*" 

Auth_MYSQLhost *myhost.com*
Auth_MYSQLusername *username*
Auth_MYSQLpassword *password*
Auth_MYSQLdatabase *dbname*
Auth_MYSQLpwd_table user 
Auth_MYSQLuid_field username 
Auth_MYSQLpwd_field password 
Auth_MYSQL_EncryptedPasswords off

<LIMIT GET POST> 
require valid-user 
</LIMIT>

Remember to change the items bettween the * * to your values.

Hope this helps.
