.htaccess Password Protect

[Hairy DJ]

I tried to use .htaccess to password protect some files but instead it disabled them. Here is what I tried:

 

<files ~

"(file1|file2|ffile3).pl">

AuthUserFile /home1/hairydj/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd

AuthGroupFile /home1/hairydj/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp

AuthName EnterYourPassword

AuthType Basic

require valid-user

</files>

Try this:

<Files ~
"(file1|file2|file3).pl">
AuthUserFile /home1/hairydj/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.pwd
AuthGroupFile /home1/hairydj/public_html/_vti_pvt/service.grp
AuthName "Enter Your Password"
AuthType Basic
Order Allow,Deny
require valid-user
</Files>

I've corrected his problem. He didn't have the correct path to his passwd file.
