.htaccess and .htpasswd

[JoshFink]

I am having trouble with using these two.

I am putting the following .htaccess file in my directory called phpmyadmin

DirectoryIndex index.php
AuthUserFile /home/nsadmin/homes/nsadmin/phpmyadmin/.htpasswd
AuthName "PhpMyAdmin"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

I am placing the .htpasswd file in this directory
/home/nsadmin/homes/nsadmin/phpmyadmin/

.htpasswd

jimbo:zOagIjvbmdC2c

I get the pop up for the login and password,but it never accepts my password...

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Josh

I think I figured out the problem. It's using Frontpages security features from when I first uploaded the site. Is there any way to turn off all Frontpage functionality and revert back to UNIX security?

Thanks,

Josh

I just did this at one of my sites. If you are going to use .htaccess, you really need to delete Frontpage extensions. There should be an option to do so on your CP. It's usually in the same place where you installed them.
