I have enabled htpasswd protection in a folder. I need this type of protection because I need to protect an iTunes feed and its content and that's the only way (as far as I know) to protect this type of content. I am using wordpress. I have my wordpress installation inside a folder called "Wordpress", my aMember installation inside a folder called "amember" and my desired protected content inside a folder called "Premium", all of these folders are at the same level (top). When I try to access my protected folder for example writing the URL of a file inside it in my browser I don't get asked for user/password as I am supossed to be, instead I get a "Page not found" page. It's like it gets lost somewhere. I have to say that even my wordpress installation is inside a folder you access it from the root URL because I have my index.php outside that folder and change a line in it and the main .htaccess wordpress file also in root folder. That maybe is causing the conflict. It's driven me crazy. I've been with this problem for a week now and I'm so tired of trying to find what's happening in here. Read something about permalinks but I'm really lost, any help will be much appreciated.
I got this solved!!!! Hope this helps somebody. All you have to do is add this line before everything else in .htaccess file inside the protected folder (NOT wordpress main .htaccess): ErrorDocument 401 "Unauthorized access" That's it!!! Problem solved!! No more "Page not found"
