Topic: Password protect single files instead of directories *SOLVED*

[Emilio_k]

Hi,

I have been able to password protect a directory on my website using the 50AddSecureIbayFolder in my httpd.conf:

<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/links/admin>
AuthUserFile /etc/htpasswd
AuthName "admin links"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
order deny,allow
require user admin
</Limit>
</Directory>

But how do I would also like to password protect a single page (a .php file in this case).
Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks.

does apache have such a feature? if so, find how, then you're done..

Put it in a directory and protect that? (maybe with a symlink at the old location, ans FollowSymLins turned on)

Ah,

<Directory /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary/html/links/admin>
AuthUserFile /etc/htpasswd
AuthName "admin links"
AuthType Basic
<Files admin.php>
require user admin
</Files>
</Directory>

seems to work
