I'm doing something wrong that I could not figure out why my .htaaccess is not working
I want to protect my a2billing admin directory access

so in /var/www/html/a2billing/admin directory, I have .htaccess file with the following:



in the file /var/htpasswd
I my username password in there generated by htpasswd -c

I have restarted httpd

but when I try to access the admin directory, it's giving me access w/out entering the username/password.

Can someone please shed some light?

Thanks

sonvan,
There are a few ways to protect your directory and .htaccess is definitely a good option, however it's an added load on your server.
I notice many people putting .htaccess files in directories and hope for a miracle. You do not have any protection with .htaccess files unless your web server is properly configured.
The AllowOverride must be equal to All instead of None as you can see below.



I hope this helps.

Robin.
