WampServer

How would i go about doing that? I tried a .htaccess tutorial but it didn't work.

Hi,

Here is an example of a .htaccess file in a folder that works under Wamp 5 :

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Your Site Name or Something"
AuthUserFile c:/wamp/apache2/conf/passwd
Require valid-user

You need to add the usernames and passwords into the file passwd by using the htpasswd utility, as described in the Apache documentation at [httpd.apache.org]. In Wamp 5 the program is c:\wamp\Apache2\bin\htpasswd.exe.

You need to have mod_auth_basic is enabled: go to the WAMP icon in the System Tray, then Apache Modules and make sure auth_basic_module is selected.

However, it looks as if you do not have to use .htaccess for authentication. Go to [httpd.apache.org] and have a look at the paragraph Authentication Example.

What error cause htpasswd.exe report?
First you create the password file by adding the first user. The htpasswd command is most likely not in your path so start by CD into the directory. Like so:

cd c:\Program\GNU\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.6\bin


To create a new password file with initial user rogper, execute:

htpasswd -c path\to\.htpasswd rogper
New password: *******
Re-type new password: *******

To add another user "jdoe", execute:

htpasswd path\to\.htpasswd jdoe
New password: *****
Re-type new password: *****

If your contents fo .htaccess differs from example that toivo posted above, you should post your codes here so people can help you out
