HTTP Auth, howto?

Looks like I can't figure this out on my own: How to install and configure the http auth plugin? I tried installing just the plugin, but that will lock me out of the blog. Probably because my htpasswd are not set. I tried generating a htpasswd and add the auth block to my htaccess. Didn't work out :(

Can someone maybe give me a short step by step howto?

Hi!

What you install the http auth plugin, this RFEPLACE a .htpasswd solution by using s9y internal authentication mechanism, it uses the usernames/password from the blog.

This is only possible when Apache runs as mod_php. For CGI, this does not work.

That was the problem, I've read about it. Just didn't recognize the problem :roll: Thanx Garvin!
