RE: [LI] .htaccess problems.

["Webmaster : prayagonline.com" <prayag@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
	I added the line as you said and now the browser gives the prompt for
username/password
but rejects anything that i give .

BTW the encrypted pass begins with Cd , I guess thats the correct seed ?

and yes i did uncomment the Access File name thing.

Please help !
Gaurav.

Hi,
> AuthName Webmaster
> AuthType Basic
> AuthUserFile /home/httpd/html/.htpasswd

I think u need to have something like this after the above lines.
<Limit GET>
require user <user-name-with-which-the-user-can-log-on>
</Limit>

and .htpasswd will have   <user-name>:<encrypted-passwd>

Did u uncomment the AccessFileName tag?
It should be:

AccessFileName .htaccess

HTH
Sai
