but , how can i add more than one user who can access xampp directory ?
I am assuming you have already set a password using the security page.
Look in the
xampp\security folder for a file called
.htpasswd(
, or in my case it is called xampp.users), and remember this name - if you drag it into your text editor you will see your current user name followed by a string of seemingly random characters, which in fact is your password MD5 encrypted.
Now open a command prompt console window in
xampp\apache\bin folder - I am also assuming you know how to do that but post back if not.
At the prompt type
htpasswd -m C:\xampp\security\.htpasswd newusernamehere(
your path may be different to your .htpasswd or may be xampp.users like mine and you add your newusername where I have shown above)
You can also type instead
htpasswd -bm C:\xampp\security\.htpassword newusername newuserpasswordThen you won't be asked separately for the password, like below.
Click
Enter on your keyboard.
Next you will be asked for the password for your newuser at the prompt:
New password: (
enter your password for your newuser)
Click
EnterRe-type new password: (again enter your newuser password)
Click Enter
It the should say at the prompt
Adding password for (newusername) and return you the prompt again.
Close the console window.
Check the
.htpasswd file again to see that you have 2 users with their encrypted password next to them.
You should now be able to login using either of the 2 user/password combinations but remember to close your browser to test logging in with the second user.
Let me know if the above is not clear please.
