.htaccess doesnt work

[IceDragon]

hey,

i created a .htaccess and .htpassword files and when i try to access the test.php on my website and enter the username and password it doesnt work. can anyone tell me where's the problem?

 

.htaccess

<Files "test.php">
AuthUserFile /www/test.mytestwebsite.net/.htpasswd/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Test test test"

<LIMIT GET>
require valid-user
</LIMIT>

</Files>

 

.htpassword

test:test

 

i even tried encyrpting 'test' password but it still wouldnt work.

What do you mean doesn't work? The password in htpassword will need to be encrypted by running the htpassword utility that came with Apache.

 

Have a read of the Apache Documentation on Authentication with .htaccess/.htpassword.
