Password Protect Admin Directory
I've come across a strange problem that I can't seem to work out .... am currently changing servers and whilst installing links on my new server I cannot password protect *any* directories under my cgi-bin.

I have tried using Fileman (as comes with Links) and also tried doing it manually ... to no avail... the files .htaccess and .htpasswrd are there ... they just don't work. I can password protect directories 'outside' cgi-bin ....

Anyone have any ideas what might me happening here?

Thanks,


Clint.

See the apacheweek article on Configuring the Server "AuthConfig override" at:

This is usually why user authentication is not working on your server.
