.HTACCESS...

[LMS16]

Hi,

Ive setup .htaccess to password protect directories, only problem is, when i got to the actual url of a file into the directory, it doesnt ask for a user or pass...

Is there a way to password protect EVERYTHING within the directory?

Thanks, Lewis.

+REP for any help

Edit:

I found out that the files within the directory are protected.
Now, internet explorer & google chrome are only asking for a password when im try to access the directory & giving me direct access to the file if i have the actual url of the file...

sorry about double post, maybe an admin should change the edit time from 15 mins to an hour?

AuthType BasicAuthName "NO ENTRY"
AuthUserFile "/home/****/.htpasswds/public_html/includes/passwd"require valid-user


Put that in a htaccess file, and obviously create the password file etc, then put it in the directory you want to protect

Ive already done that. It may just be a bug with GC & IE?

Nope, works fine for me..
May be your host?

Have you not got cPanel? You can do it automatically in there

It's a server side thing, no bug with any browsers.

Ahh, I think I know why it wasnt asking for a PW, cos Ive put "Require user admin anotheruser" so if im already authenticated on the admin, it wont ask me :)

Thanks, Lew.
