unable to setup login for admin using .htaccess

[aquanev]

Hi,

 

I just installed oscommerce and was unable to get .htacces and .htpasswd working for the admin section. The login screen wont show.

 

Here is what I did :

0. Downloading and installed the oscommerce package with the username:aquanev

 

1. Then Logged in as root.

 

2.created /home/sites/www.theclothesstore.com/web/oscommerce-2.2ms2/catalog/admin/.htaccess

 

Here are the contents of .htaccess

 

AuthUserFile /home/sites/www.theclothesstore.com/web/.htpasswd

AuthName "Admin"

AuthType Basic

 

<Limit GET PUT POST>

require valid-user

satisfy all

</Limit>

 

3.Then did a > htpasswd -c /home/sites/www.theclothesstore.com/web/.htpasswd cartadmin

4.Then assigned password as prompted.

 

I would appreciate it if someone could advise me on this.

 

Thank you,

Nev.
