limiting access
I am attempting to create a directory where i can limit the access. I
created a password file using htpasswd. before i put in the .htaccess
file(which is shown below) i had access to the directory. Now i have no
access. Any suggestions?
AuthName "Test Directory"
AuthUserFile /home/squat/public_html/temp/.htaccess
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>

1. Throw away whatever documentation told you to use <Limit GET> and
</Limit>. Those lines are unnecessary and quite possibly a security risk.
2. The AuthUserFile should point to the password file, not to the
.htaccess file.
3. What does the error log say?
Joshua.
