Hey,

This is my .htaccess file:

Code:
<If "-f %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/.htpasswd">
 AuthType Basic
 AuthName "Restricted Access"
 AuthUserFile ".htpasswd"
 Require valid-user
</If>
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>


My problem: if I enter my username and password, I have to enter them again and again. Infinite loop.

My solution is perfect without <If "-f %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/.htpasswd"> and </If> lines.

How can this be solved?

I have an idea, but I don't know how to solve it.

Code:
<If "-f %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/.htpasswd">
 # check, if not authorized ->
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Restricted Access"
  AuthUserFile ".htpasswd"
  Require valid-user
 # <- check, if not authorized
</If>


What I would like: if there is a .htpasswd file, you should be able to log in, if there isn't, you don't have to.

Thanks.

Aren't you missing the most important part? Smile

AuthUserFile "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/.htpasswd"

Try This...
Code:
<If "-f %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/.htpasswd">
 # check, if not authorized ->
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Restricted Access"
  AuthUserFile "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/.htpasswd"
  Require valid-user
 # <- check, if not authorized
</If>[/b]
