So, I am aware this question has been asked and answered in a variety of different ways in a variety of different places. I have already spent way too much time trying to find a solution, so I'm hoping to find a solution here by just asking myself.
I am using CakePHP 1.2.5 in this case if that makes a difference. I'm hoping not, because I'm hoping to use whatever solution I get on a few different installations, all of which use different versions. Anyways, the issue is this. I have setup a directory inside /homePath/ app/webroot/, the directory is called admin, so the full path looks like /homePath/app/webroot/admin. Now getting to this directory works great. Until I password protect it using a .htaccess and .htpasswd file. After I implement the password protection, I get this error, "Error: The requested address '/failed_auth.html' was not found on this server." My .htaccess file looks like this: AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /homePath/app/webroot/admin/.htpasswd AuthName "Precision Laser Therapy Administrators" require valid-user I am using Dreamhost and have generated this using their panel, so I am pretty positive the /homePath/ portion is correct. I have already tried the solutions on http://groups.google.ca/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/9054f372db1638bd/fc63892f3ae768f3?lnk=gst&q=password+protecting+a+directory#fc63892f3ae768f3, and http://groups.google.ca/group/cake-php/browse_thread/thread/30ea77cad33d87d7/4f2308c938067eec?lnk=gst&q=password+protecting+a+directory#4f2308c938067eec I couldn't get them to work, that could be because I'm dumb and missed something that they didn't explicitly say or they just simply won't work in my case. Does someone have a solution for this issue? Assume that the only thing I have changed to a static Cake install, is the addition of the admin directory in /app/webroot, and the addition of the .htaccess and .htpasswd files inside of it.
