authentication not working - bypassing htaccess
I have set up .htacces file and it exists in the directory where I have fileman.cgi. I even chmod to 777. I set the path in fileman.cgi to the directory where the password file is located.

When I access fileman.cgi, there is no authentication..pop-up? Never had this happen before.

Thanks for your help.

Did you put the .htpasswd file in the same directory where your fileman.cgi and .htaccess files are located?

Yes the .htaccess file is in the same directory as the fileman.cgi?

Sorry Eliot,

The .htpasswd file is not in the same directory: usr/local/etc/httpd/htpasswd/

The .htaccess file and the htacess.pl file are in the same directory (usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/fileman).

It is really strange that it doesn't prompt.

Thanks for help and I appologize for not anwering your question the first time.
