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

["Steve Rogers" <cobalt@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a patch to do with the .htaccess files for the RAQ4. I had the same
problem, but once the patch was applied it all worked ok.

All you then need to do is to telnet in as admin run the htpasswd program
with the -c option to create your .htpasswd file, then upload a .htaccess
file.

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


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.
