Hey, after readig through many tutorials and previous posts on this forum i am still stick setting up basic auth. Maybe im overlooking something trivial but here goes:
1) used "htpasswd -c ../passwd/.htpasswd username" to set up the .htpasswd file in the passwd folder.
2) created a .htaccess file in the www root ( currently htdocs in apache), the following settings are present in this:
| Code: |
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Members"
AuthUserFile "../passwd/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user
|
The AuthUserFile should look for the .htpasswd in the passwd folder.
Can anyone see whats wrong with this? Thanks in advance!
