.htaccess
I don't know if this is the right forum to post this in, so please feel free to move it
How do I use it? I made followed the instructions of a 'tutorial' on my webhosts site, but I can't get it to work properly can some one please tell me what I did wrong?
I have three files, .htaccess, .htpasswd, .htgroup
The contents are as follows:
.htaccess:
AuthUserFile /home/httpd/html/impactdesignz/restricted/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /home/httpd/html/impactdesignz/restricted/.htgroup
AuthName ByPassword
AuthType Basic
require group my-users
.htpasswd:
admin:admin
.htgroup:
my-users:admin

Hi,
Your .htpasswd file needs to be generated by the server -- simply putting "admin" as the password in plain text won't work. The server generates an encrypted password file that needs to be used in the .htpasswd document. Your host should have some sort of program for generating this -- the best method would be to contact their technical support and ask them about it. Many hosts also offer this option through a control panel, as well.
Good luck and Merry Christmas,
Brian
