Hi Air,

My intent was to put the .htaccess and .htpasswd files in the public web path. Since I'm not used to server file paths, that's why I based my path on the MasterPreInstallationTester results showing the path for the cgi-bin, but I substituted the "members" directory (originally "private")for the "cgi-bin." And I put both files in the members directory to ensure the path would be correct. The .htaccess file is in the "members" directory, which is available via the browser. I do get the password prompt, but it won't let me in. I get this message:

<<<<This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document you requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g. bad password), or your browser does not understand how to supply the credentials required.>>

I set the permissions to what I believe is 755; the members directory is read,write,execute for owner, and the world and group is read,execute. The two files also have the same permissions.

It just seems really difficult for me to connect all the dots with this project... wish the Cobalt control panel could manage everything.

Thanks,
Kathy
