.htaccess Protection

[scotttyz]

I need to MANUALLY configure .htaccess files to protect some directories. I have some "add user forms" that update this via PHP so the cPanel stuff will not work for me.

 

I may be missing something stupid, is there anyone that can help??

 

>AuthUserFile "/home/******/rep_users/REP.user"
AuthGroupFile "/dev/null" 
AuthName "All About Play"
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET POST> 
require valid-user
</Limit>

 

the files seems to be in the right place. And I get challanged by the webbrowser for authentication but it will not acceot any of my old dot ht password file.

alway good when you can help your self.

Or it just starts working, did you hit the monitor?

 

I tried to see what cpanel did to protect and it looked very simailar

 

AuthType Basic

AuthName "foldername"

AuthUserFile "/home/cpanelname/.htpasswds/foldername/passwd"

require valid-user
