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

[Donna Vargas <dvargas@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had the same thing happen to me.
Try using this for your .htaccess file:


AuthUserFile <path to>/.htpasswd
AuthName Protected_Area
AuthType Basic
AuthPAM_Enabled off

<Limit GET POST>
require valid-user
</Limit>
