.htpasswd and .htaccess generator: .htpasswd file location |
|
You need to specify the .htpasswd file location in the .htaccess file: AuthUserFile /home/vhost/yourdomain.com/path/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "Restricted Access" AuthType Basic require valid-user For security reasons always place the .htpasswd file outside your docroot. AuthUserFile requires the absolute path starting from the root ("/" or "C:/") of the webserver. If the webserver is running on a Windows environment the AuthUserFile will look like: C:/home/vhost/yourdomain.com/path/.htpasswd |
