htpasswd on virtual host (Apache 1.3)

[kamtono]

recently one of my friend ask me to protect come directory on his web page

actually i ser like this

AllowOverride none (some of documents suggest AuthConfig)

## this on my friend setting for his virtual host #####

DocumentRoot /home/ryan/public_html
ServerName www.ryandirektori.com ### this only sample #####
<Directory "/home/ryan/public_html/secret_page">
deny from all
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order deny,allow
</Directory>


i just want to ask, is it any difference with some HTML, PHP, CGI scripts to protect on his virtual host setting ?

i do right ?

Hi,

Try this instead...

<Directory "/home/ryan/public_html/secret_page">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted area!"
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwd/passwdfile
Require valid-user
</Directory>


To create the password file do

htpasswd -c -n /etc/httpd/passwd/passwdfile <username>

Restart your server and you should be OK.

Cheers
