The FAQ was not very helpful. I had tried many times to write this .htaccess file and creating passwords as well, but I did not know that: ******************************************** I had to change in /etc/apache/htaccess.conf the line: AllowOverride None for the line: AllowOverride All ******************************************** and stop and start the apache server... Now it is done and working. Thanks all. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
