RE: [cobalt-developers] .htaccess files and authentication

[Eric Beck <admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks John, I've tried their posted method already, and it doesn't work

I get server error.

Could it be anything to do with the permissions on either the .htaccess
file, or the .htpasswd file (or whatever chosen password file I've
created)????

here's the .htaccess file...pretty straigt forward.  Can anyone see what's
wrong?

order allow,deny
allow from all
require user valid-user
Authname Web Site
AuthPAM_Enabled off
Authtype Basic
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site1/web/.mypassfile

Thanks,

Eric
