htpasswd

I'm trying to use htpasswd on a single file, but cannot seem to get it running.

I used the following line.

htpasswd examsintlaw.html gil password

Can any of you help? It would be greatly appreciated.

I think you need to put the options

Code:

htpasswd [ -c ] [ -m | -d | -s | -p ]

please check the manual for htpasswd

Can HTPASSWD even be applied to a html file? Or does it have to be applied to a folder, and it would password-protect all files within.

I still haven't got this going yet. Any ideas/suggestions?

might seem obvious but
HTPASSWD --help
might provide some clues to how to get it to work

htpasswd is a utility to create passwords for the users you want to access certain files/directories of your webserver. Then you create a .htaccess file in the directory you want to password-protect.
To protect just a file your .htaccess must be something like this:

Code:

<Files examsintlaw.html>
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Whatever you want"
    AuthUserFile /absolute_path/to_password_file
    Require user username
</Files>

Does your apache configuration allow you to restrict the access?

I checked AllowOverride. I set it to both allow, deny, none. But I still can't get .htaccess/.htpasswd going.

Also, would .htpasswd be in the same directory as everything else that I want to password protect along with .htaccess.

Try

Code:

AllowOverride AuthConfig

Also .htaccess protects the directory where it's located and any subdir under that directory

Thanks a whole bunch. That was the resolution.
