RE: Help with apachie

I'll take a stab at it.  Make sure you have the .htaccess file in the
directory you are trying to control access to.  The format should be
something like this:

AuthName "Access"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/apache/conf/htpassword
AuthGroupFile /usr/apache/conf/htgroup
<limit GET>
require group users
</limit>



Now edit the httpd.conf file and make sure "AllowOverride None" is changed
to "AllowOverride All".  Make sure the htgroup file has the desired access
name in it.  I.e.

users: fred john

Now add the password by typing:
/usr/apache/bin/htpasswd -c /usr/apache/conf/htpassword john

Please note you apache is probably not in /usr/apache.  Please substitute
/usr/apache for the apache directory in the example above.  Hope this helps.
