Re: [cobalt-users] newbie .htaccess problem

["Robert Dayton" <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

go ino your apache srm.conf file and comment out the custom error message
that cobalt makes for the 401 error. that will allow your browser to get the
right message to prompt you for id and password. took me a whole night and
my birthday to figure that out. Oh... restart apache, too.

COBALT TOOK MY BIRTHDAY AWAY!

Still wuv my qube.
