I'd need more details on what you are actually want to do. I mean, if you wanted to authenticate the .php files, you'd just have to enter the "Extension php" rule, go to 'Security', and choose an authentication mechanism (in order to point the web server where and ho your login/password pairs are stored). In case you wanted to require authentication for the whole domain, you'd have to add a new rule on top of the list, uncheck 'final', and configure just the 'Security field' as in the previous case. The match of the rule should be "Directory /", so every single request matches with it. It's very important to put the rule in the very first position, to uncheck final (so evaluation continues once the security field is read), and to fill out just the security details (no handler). That should do it. -- Octality http://www.octality.com/ _______________________________________________ Cherokee mailing list [email protected] http://lists.octality.com/listinfo/cherokee
