SECURE APACHE A DIRECTORY:
at httpd.conf after < Directory /home/mosh/ros> put the line:
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Note: if u have squirrelmail inside /ros/web take
the .htaccess from it-
so it will continu to work!
service httpd restart
For a single user:
at the directory that needs to be secured put the
file .htaccess with content:
AuthUserFile /home/path/public_html/private_dir/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Aubies Private Page"
AuthTipe Basic
< Limit GET>
require user tiger
< /Limit>
-------------------
than at the disiered directory: chmod 644 .htaccess
htpasswd -c .htpasswd tiger
(this will generate a file .htpasswd u can check)
info:
-2 change the username u need to change it at the 2 files above.
For multiple users:
at the private dir add users: htpasswd .htpasswd eagle
htpasswd .htpasswd aubi
htpasswd .htpasswd tomi
make .htgroup and put inside:
my-users: eagle , aubi , tomi
the file .htaccess should look like that:
AuthUserFile /home/path/public_html/private_dir/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /home/path/public_html/private_dir/.htgroup
AuthName only_my_friends
AuthType Basic
< Limit GET>
require group my-users
< /Limit>
