Password Protect Pages

[MikeH]

I've read all of the other posts. I've watched the tutorial. I've done the required chants and sacrifices...

But...I still can not figure out how to password protect a couple of pages on my website.

I would like to password protect pages: Grades_M103.html and Grades_M119.html. I created directories for each of these files in public.html and password protected those directories, but when navigating my website, I was told that the files/pages no longer existed, etc....

Now, I did all of the above using File Manager. I tried to get into FTP by using the login page that was sent to me, but I received an error saying Windows does not have access or Bill Gates was on lunch break or something like that.

So....????

Re: Password Protect Pages

How are you linking to your password protected pages? Your links should be like this:

http://Grades_M103.yourwebsite.com/Grades_M103.html

I think this is correct - if you have named your subdomain as Grades_M103

Linked the page appropriately...but now I'm getting "Page cannot be displayed".

Hmmmmm.

When you published your page - did you publish to:
public.html/Grades_M103

Re: Password Protect Pages

Yes, published to public.html/Grades_M103 but still am getting "Page cannot be displayed".

I am at a lost....

Just checking - each bit we do makes it easier for someone to help you....

you added the new directories as sub-domains in your control panel? (Grades_M103 and the other)

Hi MikeH, what is your web site can I take a look?

Re: Password Protect Pages

when you published to public.html/Grades_M103
did you name the page as index ????

each dir / sub dir needs its own index page........

D'oh! That's probably the ticket!

Re: Password Protect Pages

It is not correct that each dir/subdir needs it's own index page. It depends exclusively on the link type. If you have a page (not called index) in the pass protected dir, just create the link as http://www.domainname.com/passdir/pagename.html

Thats nice to know because having come from Yahoo, they required the above...........

Re: Password Protect Pages

Thanks to you all!! Creating the subdir and linking appropriately did the trick! Now I have pages that can only be accessed thru passwords.

Again, thank you.
