I have the following lines in my .htaccess file in a sub-directory. This is the only .htaccess password protection I have in place on my site. The problem is: I am being prompted for a password when I try to access pages on my MAIN directory. How can that be? Again, the htaccess with the lines that follow is in a SUB directory. AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile whatever/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null PHP: Thanks! Brian
Is there any redirection set in the .htaccess of the main domain directory? Can you paste the contents of it? And what is the control panel you are using?
You may have a web page asset such as an image or something in the sub-directory yet used on the homepage.
