.htaccess?
Why doesn't .htaccess rules work, when i example write this in it:
AuthUserFile /home/username/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "Private Area" AuthType Basic <Limit GET POST> require valid-user </Limit> i just want to secure a folder by password, on apache2 [i just installed it, it works, but i can still see the folder, and it doesn't ask for password, i have .htpasswd in username/.htpasswd] what am i missing? thank you:S |

Try it without the "<Limit GET POST>" etc. All you should need is: AuthUserFile /home/username/.htpasswd AuthName "Private Area" AuthType Basic require valid-user Please let us know if that helps. -- Bob Cox.

A lot. There's more to password protection in Apache than simply dropping a .htaccess file in a directory. This is way, way OT, btw, but what you almost certainly need to do is to AllowOverrideAll for your directory before Apache will allow it to have control over access. It's all in the documentation.
