Hi Folks,
I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this thread however here goes.
I am having problems getting a .htaccess file to work. I am trying to password protect a folder on an external serve. The hosting company have told me that they do support .htaccess and have gave me the path name. However when I enter the user name and password it just seems to keep asking for the username and password and never allows me entry to the folder.
The .htaccess file is as follows:
AuthUserFile /home/newspics_co_uk/testing/.htpasswd
AuthName "NewsPics Private area"
AuthType Basic
Require thomas
and the .htpasswd file is created using
htpasswd -c .htpasswd thomas
I have ftp the files into the testing folder using ASCII transfer however it just seems to never allow me into the protected folder.
Any ideas where I have gone wrong?
Thanks,
Tambo
