Hi,

I'm trying to set up a website using PHP-nuke and XAMPP (Apache 2.2.4) and I need to restrict the access to one of my .php files so that a standard windows login/password dialog box appears whenever I try to run the script. In my .htaccess file I write the following:

<Files ~ "\admin.php$">
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "C:\server\pass\admin.pass"
AuthName "Password required"
require valid-user
</Files>

where admin.php is the file I need to protect and C:\server\pass\admin.pass is the file where the passwords are stored. Now, when I try to run the script a 401 error page (Authentication required) appears. On the other hand when I try to run it on Apache 1.3 a dialog box appears no problem.

Did they disable the user/password dialog box in Apache 2 or something?.. Any suggestions?

They did not disable that. But the modules have been split and have different names. You have to load mod_authn_file
Also help full is the overview page of the "new" auths
