include file under protected directory

[d-woo]

i have the following command in one of my php files:

require("admin/config.php");

where the "admin" directory is password protected.

On my shared server this file executes with no problem.

On my dedicated, however, this file requires the username and password for "admin", the protected directory.

Why is this and how can I override this?

(I am using PHP4.1.2 on the dedicated and 4.2.2 on the shared)

[thoand]

are you using .htacces for protecting the admin directory?
if so, there is no chance to override it.

since you get it to work on you testing enviroment, are you then using Windows ?

the solution is to have the include file in a directory that is not password protected.🙂

Move the config file out of the password protected area, but save it to a position below your web root.

I tend to use an admindata folder located below web root where I place central config files.
