mantronix100 Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 You should be able to do this from your hosts control panel. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mortsahl Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Here's how mine is setup ... .htpasswd in /usr/local/apache It's contents is nothing but a username and encrypted passwod in the format of ... username:<encrypted password> Go to http://www.euronet.nl/~arnow/htpasswd/ to get your encryped password. In my admin directory (default location is <docroot>/catalog/admin) lives the .htaccess file, it contains ... AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName EnterPassword AuthType Basic require user <your username> Then in httpd.conf, locate the line that says... "AllowOverride None" and change it to... "AllowOverride All". Also in httpd.conf locate the line that says... "Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews" and change it to "Options None" This last bit should turn off allowing directory listings Restart Apache and give it a try -- works for me.

mortsahl Posted November 20, 2003 Share Posted November 20, 2003 Perhaps I made a bad assumption ... I assumed you are running Linux and the apache webserver. If not, nevermind. If so, do a "locate apache" to find out where it is installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 21, 2003 Share Posted November 21, 2003 I tried to locate my apache, but the search came without any luck; I even spent the entire night trying to find that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
