Re: Re: Re: Redirect page (newbie)

Oh hey - another comment that may help you. If you want to password protect a web page on a Unix based system, you should read about htpasswd.

Here is one explanation of how to set it up.

It's really simple to set up, and is quite secure. No worries about someone bypassing authentication and loading a web page they shouldn't see.

htpasswd only works with the Apache webserver, however. And, although the documentation says that it works with both the Unix and Windows versions of Apache, I have only been able to get it to work with the Unix version of Apache.	[reply]
