-Spazmatic- Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 I've read countless tutorials on how to create or modify .htaccess to protect my folder(s). How the hell do you do this?? I can't figure out how AT ALL. And yes, I've searched. I've searched A LOT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Have you checked to see if your host has an option in their contril panel to generate them? If they don't, then you will need to find a site where you can generate them and then just upload them.

-Spazmatic- Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 Godaddy says you must create your own. I asked them about it yesterday, and they told me to use .htaccess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can take an existing one and edit it using Wordpad or Notepad in Windows. Unfortunately due to the name of it, you cannot create a file with this name under windows or nor rename another file to .htaccess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Spazmatic- Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 but where do i put .htpasswd? All these generators are telling me to put it above my root folder......how the hell do I do that? My full path is: /home/content/u/s/e/username/html with "u/s/e" changed to the first three letters of my username and then "username" changed to my user name. How do I get here to upload my .htpasswd?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the index.php is accessed in that folder to open your admin web page, the rules in these files will be followed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Spazmatic- Posted December 28, 2005 Author Share Posted December 28, 2005 I fixed it. Apparently the generator I was using did not encode the password right, so I just used the one mentioned above and it works. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
