[cobalt-developers] .htaccess doesn't prompt for password on RAQ 4

["Nigel Willis" <nigel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've just bought a RAQ 4 and I can't get the .htaccess file to work.  It
just lets everyone in without prompting for a p/word.

The file looks like this:

AuthUserFile /home/sites/site2/web/directory/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
Authname Web Site
Authtype Basic
<Limit GET POST>
 require valid-user
</Limit>

and there is a corresponding password file.  I created the file via telnet
and pico.

I've tried all kinds of .htaccess file including:

# Access file
order allow,deny
allow from all
require valid-user
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site2/web/directory/.htpasswd
AuthName Somewhere Neat
AuthType Basic

as suggested by other postings, but still the server just displays the pages
with no password prompt!

Please help - so I can get a decent nights sleep!!

Thanks,

Nigel.
