I need to password protect my blog for members, how?

[cd34]

if you know the path of your files, create a .htaccess file like:

[code=.htaccess]
AuthUserFile /var/www/path/to/.htpasswd
AuthName "Members Only"
AuthType Basic

require valid-user
[/code]

Then, use http://www.flash.net/cgi-bin/pw.pl and type in the username/password that you want -- it'll create a line like:

[code=.htpasswd]
test:kHoJCaJBSVU9g
[/code]

Upload that as .htpasswd

At this point, you should be able to log in with the user/password -- if not, you probably have the path wrong. Upload this:

[code=cwd.php]
<?php
echo getcwd();
?>
[/code]

And then call: http://yourdomain.com/cwd.php

and use that as the path in the .htaccess file.
