I have _finally_ got round to trying out Dynamic DNS so I can host stuff on my own machine. For now I want to only give myself access, so thought I'd use basic .htaccess / .htpasswd authorisation. (I am planning on setting up a separate server machine) I'm using XAMPP, and have C:\EclipseWorkspace as the DocumentRoot. Now if I have then it's actually that 'jOPT...' string which works as the password, instead of what that's a hash of. and lets me login with username/password! Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here?
Try putting the path to the htpasswd file in quotes and removing the double slashes. I've had this before using windows - it's flakey. I also think I had to use a full MD5 hash of the password rather than the little crypty thing that you're using
I did have the double quotes at one point, but I think it finds the file okay (since if I move it a get a different error). I will try a md5 hash. Cheers RTT. PS - Cheesecake.
