I'd suggest trying to get the .htaccess working by using a basic html page first. .htaccess is simple to use regardless of the encryption type but you must do the basics first and make sure that you are not overlapping another security type on the same directory. I use .htaccess on all of my vhost member area's but each vhost also has an /admin/ directory that is protected via the security.ini
[restrict] /admin/ = root To be successful in getting .htaccess working you must have the correct setting and paths. If it works in one directory and not another I'd be checking to see if I can access that directory without the .htaccess first then try a basic page with .htaccess. When in doubt read: http://localhost/syshelp/sec.htm and http://192.168.0.4/syshelp/htaccess.htm Peter -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (woodsman) To: "sambar List Member" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 21 Apr 2004 03:45:59 +0200 Subject: [sambar] htaccess sambar and php > Sorry, my bad.
