Hi folks, I am floundering at creating a working basic authenticated directory, so of course, I am starting to blame the system, ha!
I think I'm doing it as I'm used to, which is to create the .htaccess file with path to a file like .htpasswd, which contains the username and password, created with the command:
/usr/bin/htpasswd .htpasswd hawks_admin
.htpasswd is chmod'ed to 644 and the directory to be authenticated is chmod'ed to 755.
Here's the content of .htaccess:
AuthUserFile /home/j/jond/.htpasswd
AuthName "Password protected for hawks_admin user"
AuthType basic
<Limit GET>
require user hawks_admin
</Limit>
Does anything jump out at you? Thanks a lot, jon
