[users@httpd] Paid access howto?

Guys,

I want certain parts of my website shielded off for regular visitors, 
only to be accessed by paying customers.
Question is, what is the easiest *and* cheapest way of doing this? What 
do I need to install to make a commercial site?
Ofcourse I need a cc-acceptant, but how do I auto-generate a 
userid&password for the paying customer to gain access to the commercial 
section? Anybody got any experience with this?

thanks
Patrick

You need to secure the site with any kind of authentication method: basic,
digest, database, and make the "add user" either manually or automated.
In order to secure the specific folders:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/auth.html

To automate the "add user" function I can't really help, but you need to
consult a programmer\developer howto do so.

All the best,
