.htaccess file contents

• Obviously you would fix the path here before saving

Edit Permissions for .htaccess

chmod 644 .htaccess

Create .htpasswd File

htpasswd -bc /path/to/where/you/want/to/store/the/password/file/.htpasswd admin admin_password

Edit Permissions for .htpasswd

chmod 644 /path/to/where/you/want/to/store/the/password/file/.htpasswd

• This would have to match your .htaccess file.
