Apache Friends Support Forum

OK read the forum but nothing i could find on this problem.

Installed xampp all fine changed document root for my websites to

srv/domains/DOMAIN NAMES


however kept document root at

Program Files/xampp/htdocs


So problem is if i place a .htaccess file into HTDOCS and type in LOCALHOST in my browser i get the pop up box for username and password Now if i place the htaccess file in the root of my website i get nothing.

my question is how do i get my sites to use the htaccess file,
