Protect a web directory with password

Posted by ionut

vim /path/of/your/dir/.htaccess

Paste this into:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Private Dir"
AuthUserFile /path/of/your/dir/.htpasswd
require valid-user

Then we must create the password file /path/of/your/dir/.htpasswd.

We want to log in with the username “user”, so we do this:

htpasswd -c /path/of/your/dir/.htpasswd user

Enter a password for “user”, and you’re done!
