[cobalt-developers] .htaccess

["Nabil Francis" <nabilf@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm very new to this list so I don't if my question is in the right place,
but I'm sure that I will find some help here.
So I was told that there some protection to a site if I just put 2 files in
it to make it accessible by a username and password (.htaccess,.htpasswd)

so I put the file .htaccess in the main directory of the site

------------------------------
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site12/web/.htpasswd
AuthName Some_Site
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
------------------------------

and I made a .htpasswd and put in the same directory listed above

------------------------------
htpasswd -c .htpasswd some_user
------------------------------

and tried to browse for the url hoping to see a window for a username and
password but I didn't find anything to prompt me!!!!!

So please can anyone tell me where I went wrong?
I appreciate any help from you.

Regards,
Nabil
