  • Protected folder

    I try to protect a folder.
    I went in C panel
    Public html/ my site
    I selected the folder named "protect" within my site
    Then ==> Password protect this directory: check box X
    Named the protect directory: restricted area
    and : saved it.

    I created a user with a password.
    then saved it again.
    I check if the directorie was protected and It was. Good.

    I published a page named within this folder.
    (in public_html/mysite/protect)
    so the adress look like
    mysite/protect/mypage.html

    Then I tested And..... I wrote in the adress : http://www.mysite.com/protect/mypage.html
    And was directly directed on the mypage.
    No protection. it doesn't work.

    Must have done something wrong but... what?

        Try logging out of cPanel first before trying the folder.

            I used an other computer and it's working.
            so the problem was with computer N°1
            I thought my computer was recording the password and allow me to reach the protected page without having to enter username and password.
            So I clicked on Tools ==> internet options. I removed the passwords and gave it a try.
            It's working now.
            Hope this could help someone with the same problem.
