Hi All,
I've been trying to setup a password protected web folder on my Linux 7.2 box.
And I can't get it working. Thats why I'm here sending this mail.
Can anyone please help me and point me where I went wrong!
Here is my .htaccess file. Just a simple one! It works on uqconnect server.
---------------------------------
AuthUserFile /var/www/html/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Welcome to Password Test Page"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
---------------------------------
And then from shell prompt I did the following.
#htpasswd -c /var/www/html/.htpasswd theticus
and entered the new password
re-entered the same password.
and I chmod 644 to .htaccess as the book said.
But when I browse the page, it display the index.html which is a dummy one that I created instead of prompting me to enter the username and password.
Do I have to do anything else in httpd.conf????
Regards,
Thet
