RE: [PHP-DB] .htaccess

Hey man It's simple... .htaccess AuthName "Authentication required" AuthType Basic require user admin, mike, nick, bill AuthUserFile /path/to/password/file/.htpasswd file .htaccess should be located in the directory you want to protect .htpasswd this file consists of the logins and passwords (syntax: login:password ) In the Unix systems you just use htpasswd utility to add records to this file or to create itself. Example: /bin/htpasswd -c /path/to/password/file/.htpasswd admin Then you enter password for admin Utility creates a new file .htpasswd /bin/htpasswd /path/to/password/file/.htpasswd mike Then you enter password for mike Utility adds a records in end of the existing .htpasswd /bin/htpasswd -b /path/to/password/file/.htpasswd nick password Then utility reads the password from the command line and puts it in the file. and so on. Don't forget to make the right rights for the .htaccess and .htpasswd Success, Michael -----Original Message----- From: its me [mailto:fotna@egypt.net] Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2001 10:42 AM To: php-db@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP-DB] .htaccess where i can find info abour .htaccess and .htpasswd files and what should be the code inside them???? its urgent please guys ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-db-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-db-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
