RE: [cobalt-users] using htaccess to limit www access to a users directory



However, having the htpasswd file located in a web accessible directory is
not recommended.  Try something like
/home/sites/site3/users/joeuser/.htpasswd (something not Web accessible).

Ok I changed the .htaccess file to read
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site3/users/joeuser

and I still get -INTERNAL SERVER ERROR!- The server encountered an internal
error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

here is the error log line I get

[Wed Sep 20 13:16:28 2000] [alert] [client 24.6.40.108]
/home/sites/site3/users/
joeuser/web/cgi-bin/store/protected/.htaccess: order takes one argument,
'allow,deny', 'deny,allow', or 'mutual-failure'
