| I use phpBB for the main of my site. I want to know if there is a way to prevent access to the directory index unless you are logged on to phpBB. And if so, how? I know of mod_auth_php, but I don't want people to re-enter their username and password. I was thinking of maybe mod_auth_cookie, and using the phpBB cookie. I would just use the headerName directive but for some reason, that does not work for me. |

LoadModule auth_phpbb_module modules/mod_auth_phpbb.so
#
# Configuration for mod_auth_phpbb
<IfModule mod_auth_phpbb.c>
<Location /restricted>
AuthPhpBBMySQLHost localhost
AuthPhpBBMySQLPort 3306
AuthPhpBBMySQLDB phpbb
AuthPhpBBMySQLUser phpbb
AuthPhpBBMySQLPassword phpbb
AuthPhpBBPrefix phpbb_
AuthPhpBBMySQLKeepAlive off
AuthPhpBBMySQLAuthoritative on

</IfModule>
# End of mod_auth_phpbb.

Doesn't work. Didn't think it would. Have already tried it. But when it does work, you get a dialog box that asks for your user name and password.
Maybe there is a way to use phpBB's cookie for information...
I could just use phpBB's session management... but I cannot get apache to let me use custom header/footer for the autoindexed directory lists.
(winXP Pro, apache 2.2.3 win32 ssl, php 5.2, mysql 5.0)
Though, thanks for the attempt. |
