I want to setup a password for a website running on Ubuntu server, and find Apache can be used. It is implemented by config httpd.conf file and .htaccess file.

So I want to ask:
1. In this case, the password is setup for a path on the server configured in httpd.conf file. Like in the following example:
Code:
 <Directory "/var/www/html/MySite">

The password is setup for the path to Mysite,right?

2. If my content of website is not stored under /var/www folder, I cannot use this way to setup a password for website, right? May use PHP instead?

Thanks a lot.
Leon

I know it is lazy to push you to read the manual... but here is the link http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html

However: if you still have a question please ask again Wink
