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
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.
This shudd get u started:
I can't access the command line of my remote host - is this still possible to do from my end?
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.
