How to specify a path?

[matrix_neo]

AuthName "AutoRank Administration"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/soft/cgi-bin/ar/admin/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null

require valid-user

The above is .htaccess file in which I have to specify the authUserFile path in order to make the topsites cgi scripting to work, which I have already installed. Please let me know how to understand this path whether domain name/user-bin/ar/admin/.htpasswd I believe ar is a cgi file which is currently up loaded in to cgi-bin/toplist/ar.cgi. My only problem is to specify a path.

Thanks

This is the error it gives when I try to run the setup.cgi

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

Thanks

Hi, I think this question would be more appropriate in 'linux' area..

Anyway, you need to create/add users in your .htpasswd file, if you havent still create it.

htpasswd -c /your/path/to/.htpasswd user

Then you'll be prompted for a passwd.
Next times you want to add other users, dont use the -c flag.

whether domain name/user-bin/ar/admin/.htpasswd I believe ar is a cgi file which is currently up loaded in to cgi-bin/toplist/ar.cgi.

Not sure if I understand exactly what you mean, but I fear, you're wrong here.. if the 2 paths '../ar..' and '../ar.cgi' needs to be similar, is only because of some conf/scripts you havent posted about :)
