htaccess authentification problem

[Guest]

I put a protection on my admin subdir as follow:

 

.htaccess file

 

AuthType basic

AuthName "Access only for Developers"

AuthUserFile www/web/ecommerce/admin/.htpasswd

AuthGroupFile www/web/ecommerce/admin/.htgroup

<Limit GET>

Require group admin

</Limit>

 

 

.htgroup file

 

admin:'name in clear text'

 

.htpasswd file

 

'same name in clear text':'password in clear text'

 

 

name and password text off course without quotes!

 

all the files are in the admin subdir

 

It didn't work !!!

msg: authentification failed...

 

can somebody help me?

 

I don't have access to httpd.conf file

First of all: you should never have the .htaccess and the .htpasswd in the same directory... bad idea.

 

Generate an encrypted one here (German, but you'll do okay)
