HiHi!
I have several "htaccess" files and it is unclear which one and from which directory to post. I'm running Apache HTTP Server on a Windows system.
The directory that the htaccess is in, that you point the htpasswd to, is the directory that that new username/password will affect.
I set it up Apache HTTP Server many years ago. In looking through my notes, I apparently setup a second user (username and password) about 3 years ago. Unfortunately, I have no recollection of how I did it, but the credentials still work. Additionally, I have no idea how I setup my username and password when I originally installed and configured Apache HTTP Server.
Actually the line in the htpasswd file with the username/password that -does- work -now-, you can copy/paste that to any other htpasswd file, and use htaccess to point to the file.
The real purpose of htpasswd is to create name/passwords -lines-. You can do anything you want with them. You don't -necessarily- have to use htpasswd to 'create the file and add the data.' Those are added features for convenience.
Have a :) day! Jim -- Jim Barchuk jb@xxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
