.htpassword probs

nexgen_x

I'm trying to password the phpMyAdmin folder of my site. I've created the .htaccess file as follows:

AuthName "PHP MyAdmin"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/home/mysite/public_html/phpmyadmin.htpasswd

require valid-user

Can anyone tell me how to create the .htpassword file? And is there anything else that needs to be done?

Cheers,

I usually use the htpasswd.exe binary supplied in the bin folder of the Apache distribution.

You can encrypt your own passwords with the crypt() function and write the .htpasswd file in the form:

username:encrypted_passwd
username:encrypted_passwd

If you don't want to write your own encryption functions for this then you can use the Htpasswd class for php, I don't know the exact URL but you can easily do a google search for it.
