.htpasswd

i am trying to get it to work on my website.

i am using 1and1.com as my host.

i want to protect a directory - www.thegdbgroup.com/protectedtraining

just to test it, i put the htaccess file and htpasswd file in there

but there is no password box when i go to the site.

anyone can help?

htacess file-
<Directory protectedtraining>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Memeber Login"
AuthUserFile www.thegdbgroup.com\protectedtraining\.htpasswd
Require valid-user or require user username </Directory>

anyone can help?

I think you are confused with the httpd.conf and htaccess syntaxes.
See, http://home.golden.net/htaccess.html (you need to specify the full absolute path of the password file)

Don't use Directory and make AuthUserFile absolute path. Also be sure your browser cache and authentification stored is clear.

why don't mention that you use a Microsoft-IIS server?
the link I post is for Apache, I don't think this work for you.
Unfortunately I can't help you. I'm sorry.

:), in that case maybe I and the posted link could help, :)

this are the settings for auth basic

AuthType Basic
AuthName "the realm used in htpasswd"
AuthUserFile /path/to/htpasswd
require valid-user


- on linux you must use / instead off \ in path
- use what you need for realm and htpasswd path.
- be sure you update/create htpasswd and is on the path you use in .htaccess

how do i delete this thread or edit it.
probably the moderators can help, I see that edit buttons are unavailable at this moment, probably the thread is closed.
Let me know if I can help with something.

I guess that I must edit some of my replays too, or maybe I'm wrong
