Guest Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Ok I have setup all the paramaters and when I type in user name and password I get this messgae:- The request requires user authentication. The response MUST include a WWW-Authenticate header field (section 14.46) containing a challenge applicable to the requested resource.

Guest Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 This is my .htaccess document:- AuthUserFile /4printing/.htpasswd AuthName "Members Only Area" AuthType Basic Require valid-user What else do I need to add?? Cheers :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepony Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Just double checking.... Did create a .htpasswd file with your username and an encrypted password? Is that the correct path? i.e. some servers is "/www/" or "/usr/ " I'd rather be flying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 yes I did create a .htpasswd file with my username and an encrypted password. I generated this by a program so maybe my route is wrong, what do you think. Should it be a route like this : "/www/4printing/ ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I have put the .htpasswd file in the route and the .htaccess file in the directory that requires the password. I cannot work it out as the window pops up ok yet it will not accept the password. Arrghhhhhhhh!!!! :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepony Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Is it giving you three attempts? I would generate another password just to be sure. One time I had my capslock turned on when I create the password and had it turned off when trying my password. Took me a while before I realized what had happened. :blink: I'd rather be flying!

Guest Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Yes it was giving 3 attempts Before I do that should the 'AuthUserFile' give the exact route to the .htpasswd file?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluepony Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Yes, it should have the full path. If you website is hosted, I would check with them to make sure you have the proper path. I've seen sites where the actual server path was "/www/usr/m1/advantage/.htpasswd/" so "/advantage/.htpasswd" would fail. I'd rather be flying!
