bignoseca

Works perfectly, thanks.

Should something like this be added to workpress, or made into a plugin of sorts?

Jeff.

Otto42 : Thank you ! ??

I haven’t tried it yet, but I do appreciate you taking time to explain it. Many thanks.

Jeff.

Pretty simple… ??

https://www.bignose.ca/foo and https://www.bignose.ca/foo/ both work as desired.

https://www.bignose.ca/private and https://www.bignose.ca/private/ do not work.

The only difference between foo and private, is that private contains a .htaccess file that looks like this:

require valid-user
AuthName “MacDonald Family Only”
AuthUserFile /usr/home/bignose/www-etc/macdonald.pwd
AuthType basic

Jeff.

oh, also if i remove .htaccess from private it starts working. so i guess i’m confused why if the private .htaccess says nothing about redirection, does it go all funny?

Yeah, except that doesn’t explain why “foo” works just fine, and adding a / to the end of private doesn’t help.
