Re: Getting .htpasswd protection to work

Hi Andy,

Thanks again for the help. It turns out that because my server
(hosted by GoDaddy) was running on Windows, I was not able to
use .htaccess/.htpasswd authentication. In addition, as you
mentioned, I did not have the server's full path, which GoDaddy
provided me. I will have to keep that "echo __FILE__;" trick in my
book though.

Thanks.
Jeff
