Hi,
This finally works... So ignore that last message.... I first went to
"conf" directory,
created an "auth" directory, and I'm putting it in there.
htpasswd -c /var/www/conf/auth/passwd edp
# Here is where I set the permissions......
chown root.nogroup /var/www/conf/auth/passwd
chmod 640 /var/www/conf/auth/passwd
Now, I need to setup the httpd.conf entry, and this is what
I intend to use... Any comments?
So, I would add this...
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin/secure">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthUserFile /var/www/conf/auth/passwd
Require valid-user
</Directory>
To my httpd.conf file, right? I think this in effect just tells
apache that anything
I put into the "secure" directory, is going to ask for a username (edp) and
password I had setup to use via htpasswd.
Is this the recommended way to do this? Then from root, I would do...
apachectl restart
Thanx
John
