.htaccess and .htpasswd question

[compxinu]

I am using a .htaccess.php and .htpasswd to protect some functions in my calendar on my site.

But, when I press on a link that is in the calendar which I am trying to protect, I do get the pop up message asking for username and password, but I can put anything in and it will allow access.

I am not sure why I can put anyting in as a user id and and anything for a password and it will allow entry. The only difference I see is that my .htaccess file has the .php extension and my .htpasswd file doesn't.

Here is a copy of the .htaccess.php file

--------


AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Required"
AuthUserFile /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/

http://www/html/calendar/viewEvent.php/.htpasswd

AuthUserFile /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/

http://www/html/calendar/viewAll.php/.htpasswd

AccessFileName .viewEvent.php
AccessFileName .viewAll.php
<Directory />
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
Require valid-user

--------------------

To create my password file I use the follwoing command..

I cd to the directory I that my calendar is in and run the following.


htpasswd -c htpasswd user for the first user.

and for subsequent users, I use the same command but without the -c option..

Please help!!

htpasswd -c htpasswd user" there's not dot. Is that a typo? In the .htaccess you're referencing .htpasswd

Sorry -- Yes, it is a typo, the command is:

htpasswd -c .htpasswd 'user'
