| | Well - I'm trying to set up .htaccess for a password to a file on my site, but I can't login with the user and pass I gave. I think it's cause I don't have the whole directory. I'm using this site:
http://www.tools.dynamicdrive.com/password/
This is my .htaccess:
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /.htpasswds/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
<Files submit.php>
require valid-user
</Files>
I noticed the htpasswds directory when I was looking around. I expect that is what it's for, right? Anyhow, does anyone know the path I need to use this? |

From your cpanel, perform a phpinfo and the _SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] should show up under the php variables down near the bottom of the page. Mine is : "/home/jlhaslip/public_html" "jlhaslip" is my cpanel user-name, so I assume the root folder of my account is "/home/jlhaslip" and that is where I think the .htaccess file belongs for what you want to do. The path to the file you want to protect will depend on exactly where is resides in the file system for your account. If you can tell where it is relative to the public_html, then you should be able to combine the info above with the known path to the file.

Thanks a whole lot, Haslip. I need to post a big reminder somewhere that says PHPINFO. Rofl.

Is Wildcards Allowed In Htaccess?
Requesting help (0) Can we use wildcards for file names in htaccess? What I mean is whether we can denote a file paths
name to something like "/myweb/myfile-*.html" so that we ask the server to process any file with the
name "myfile-COMPLETENAME.html"? Still didn't get the point? Consider a link linking to
something like "/folder/". When a link like this is opened it will search for index.html or
index.shtml and so on. To override this default behaviour we use the following code in servers
