Is it not required to place “\” in the path ?
Full Path is C:\apache\security\.htpasswd. Do we not need \ in the path ?
Thanks

Can we password protect individual files ? I mean, if there are files in different directories, do I need to create .htaccess in all these directories ? Now how does it work, if I want only few files in a directory as password protected and the other files I dont want password protected ? Do Ihave to keep all password protected files in dir in which I have .htaccess and the rest files in other directories. Is this the only way ?
2) If I want more than one directory password protected, do I have to create .htaccess in all the directoriess which I want password protected ?
3) If I have created .htaccess in one dir and there are sub dir in this dir, do all these sub dir also become password protcted ? Or do I need to create seperate .htaccess files for these sub dir ?

I had everything working fine on my XP machine but now I can’t get the password protection to work. All my pages/files are not password protected. When running the htpasswd from the command line I get the Vista security window popup (after I changed the Priviledge Level to Admin) but it doesn’t modify or create the password file.

I’ll do some digging but off-hand, I don’t have a solution for capturing the password being passed to Apache for Authentication. I’ll keep an eye out. Perhaps someone in the community can assist. Feel free to also post the question in the Forum
