astrokat Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 I am trying to password protect a section of my web site. The server is using Darwin (Mac OSX). I created a .htaccess file and it is not working (AT ALL .. no prompts or nothing). Is there anything else I have to do: i.e. editing a line in the httd.conf or rebooting the server If so, which line should be edited? OR did I miss something else? :crazy: Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezz Posted December 9, 2002 Share Posted December 9, 2002 Darwin has nothing to do with the .htaccess, which it's Apache's feature of .htaccess. Just want to light your world. Anyway, here are links: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html...l#allowoverride http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html http://www.google.com/search?q=htaccess%20...sword%20protect (Pretty plenty!!) If you still have the problems, come back with your better details such as show what line you have edit/add/delete or whatever. Then, I will see what I can help you from there.

Prash Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Also .htaccess is for linux, not for mac or windows :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairon Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 Also .htaccess is for linux, not for mac or windows :/ That's not true at all, I myself use Apache 1.2x or 1.3x (either or) on Windows all the time and .htaccess files work. And apache 2 is designed to work on multiple operating systems with the efficiency Apache 1 had for unix so I assume Apache 2 supports them as well.
