Jack_mcs Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 Most time, it fails like that because the path to the .htpasswd file is wrong. If you go to admin->backups, it will display the path you want to use. Does do they match in oyur case?

What you need is the full path to the file from the server's point of view, not the path as you see it thru FTP. That's because your ftp root directory is actually a subdirectory under a larger tree. Your host can tell you what it is if you can't find it. Also, you may be required to specify AuthGroupFile as well, even if you're not using it. For this, you would use: AuthGroupFile /dev/null Cheers, -Neil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is jsut a quick way to find the correct path.
