.htaccess files not read
Hi,
I am trying to get apache to "not allow any person" access to a
directory unless they exist in the password list. Apache running on
netwar. Does anyone have a sample of the .htaccess file and the conf
file entries i should use. the directory on the netware server is
"Data1:/FPS". Also, how do I have a file named .htaccess on a netware
server. doesnt like the "dot" in front of the file name
thanks
With Kind Regards

PS if you do use .htaccess, you need to allow it to override httpd.conf
with a AllowOverride AuthConfig at least. - check the docs...

You don't NEED to use .htaccess to empower password protection. You can
put the directives in the httpd.conf in a <Directory> container.. Either
way, you need mod_auth directives like:
# Restricted area for secret stuff
<Directory /path/to/dir>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Areay"
AuthUserFile /path/to/password/file
require valid-user
</Directory>
If you want to change the name of ".htaccess" - use the AccessFileName
directive to define it.
Check the docs for all of this to understand it more...
