Hi, I have a quite complex site organised into a series of subdirectories, all referrencing one single include directory, specified by a global variable required on each page. This file has sym links to all the directories, and I've done a test output so that is not the cause of the problem. What I'm trying to do is this, put a .htaccess over the whole lot so that only users who are part of the pilot can get in.The site already uses authentication for certain areas, and since this is a pilot I don't want to put any code in just for that, a .htaccess should be able to do everthing I want in theory. my include line loks like this include($includedir."header.inc"); however when I create the .htaccess file (see below) then the page fails to include the file and prints the following error message Warning: Failed opening 'http://www.mydomain.com/pilot/include/header.inc' for inclusion (include_path='') in /home/sites/site4/web/pilot/index.php on line 7 and then loads the rest of the page. The .htaccess file I've been using is as follows. Authname pilot Authtype Basic order allow,deny allow from all require group site4 I'm not very comfortable wit h.htaccess, not something I've used very much. I am fairly sure that it isn't the last line....the exact same file worked fine doing, say phpMyAdmin, with the only difference being that phpMyAdmin has all its files in one directory. I hope this email makes sense+please help!!
