ok in my vhost file i have this.
| Code: | <Directory "F:/Abyss Web Server/private">
Options FollowSymLinks Multiviews Indexes
AllowOverride None
AuthType basic
AuthName "private"
AuthUserFile "F:/Abyss Web Server/private/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user
</Directory>
<Directory "F:/Abyss Web Server/private">
Require all denied
</Directory> |
In my file directory that i want password protected there's a htaccess with this info
| Code: | AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authentication Required"
# Optional line:
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile "F:/Abyss Web Server/private/.htpasswd"
AuthGroupFile "F:/Abyss Web Server/private/.htgroup"
Require group admins |

| AllowOverride must set to AuthConfig not none and it needs to be set that way in httpd.conf for the <Directory> you are going to password protect. |
