.htaccess not working
Hello,

I have my .htaccess file in a directory but when I go to the directory it just lets me get in anyway - the .htaccess file is not working.

The code in it is:

AuthUserFile /usr/lib/apache/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName extranet
AuthType Basic

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

I am running Apache on Linux.

Also, I can browse directories if I don't put in a filename. How do I switch this off please?

Cheers

James

do this to hide directory indexes
Options -Indexes

as for your basic auth, it looks ok, maybe .htacces has been turned off on your server

Check AllowOverride @ http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/co...l#allowoverride

You need to tell Apache to give override permission to the directory where your .htaccess resides.

<Directory "/path/to/docroot/private">
Options -Indexes
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
