htaccess problem

Postby noobish » 26. January 2007 19:07

hei

i have got a problem using htaccess files with pw. you see i have a .htaccess file placed under xampp\htdocs\www\protected\
and it is like this:

htaccess wrote:AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile F:/password/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user


the .htpasswd file is in F:\password\


when i go to the protective place it tells me to write suername and pw but it dont work... :( just retype and retype it but it wont let me in! :(

i used http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/ this to make the .htaccess files!

AuthUserFile F:/password/.htpasswd

the .htpsswd file is in F:\password\

In your config you have used ".htpasswd" and not ".htpsswd". Rename your file or change the config.

Apache have a fine tool "htpasswd" for making and maintaining password files. Use this, which makes no errors, instead of something else.

i am wondering if maybe it restricted by default to not use .htaccess files in htdocs and sub directories?

A solution to the .htaccess problem

Postby ewm » 29. January 2007 16:44

xampp on windows xp

The following works!

The .htaccess file contents:

AuthName "Your Text Here..."
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "../sub folder/sub folder/sub folder/.htpasswd"
require valid-user

Note: I had a problem getting the AuthUserFile syntacs right.
1. The double quotes are required
2. The elipse "../" works.

The .htpasswd file contents:

user:pass

Note: Windows XP didn't like the http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/
encryption
