Hi there,
I'm trying to password protect a directory. I have no access to the main apache 2 config files, so I created in my directory a .htaccess file that looks like this:
AuthUserFile /var/www/gallery.ahost.com/htdocs/mydir/gallery/.htpasswd
AuthName "Gallery"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user
and a .htpasswd where I created a user. This works, but now I also get a login screen on the main page, when I enter
gallery.ahost.com
in my browser URL. I can say cancel and I get all access to the not protected directories but it is very annoying to the other users. How can I get a login screen just for my gallery directory?
Any help greatly appreciated.

try moving the .htaccess file into the /gallery folder itself.
Try reading said .ht files via
http://gallery.ahost.com/gallery/.htaccess
http://gallery.ahost.com/gallery/.htpasswd
If you cannot read the contents of the file, everything is good, but if you can read it's contents, then some server admin should be fired and you need to add to your htaccess file
<FilesMatch "^\.ht">
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</FilesMatch> |

The files are in /gallery and I cannot look at then through the browser, I get an access forbidden error.
The problem really is that now I don't only get a login screen when entering the /gallery directory but also when I go to the main screen:
http://gallery.host.com
Thank you
