Protected directories do not work!

Password protected directories doesnt work in cherokee or i dont get how we
configure that.

I have a main domain with docu-root : /home/domain/httpdocs

I have a program installed on a subfolder : /home/domain/httpdocs/wiki

What i need is to protect wiki folder with a .htpasswd file ;so anyone
accessing domain/wiki should be prompted a passwd.

This never works.

Under Behaviour I added a regular expression rule:

^/wiki/(.*)$

Handler :none

and under security setup authentication with a apache htpaswd file.

made this rule the first one (even before php) as I need password protection
to work first.

But when i browse domain/wiki password protection doesnt work :(

What is the technique to provide password protection to a subfolder . both
the document root and the subfolder have a mix of php and html files

Thanks,
Anoop

Maybe you should try to do it with a directory based rule, such as
/wiki. I remember getting it to work that way.

Cherokee does not have .htaccess support ( apache like ). You must define
protection in admin. Just add rule for /wiki folder, and go to security tab.

Yes, I was referring to the admin one itself.

Seems like the directory rule works.I was trying the Regular expression one
:)

Thanks everyone.

Cherokee rocks!
