Logging in

Hi all,

I want to protect a folder on my server so only active and paid members can access it. For some reason I can not use the new rewrite method.

Is there something I need to do or a code I need to put onto my hosts server to make this new rewrite work?

Please bare with me as I'm not an expert. My files are all html - if that helps in anyway.

Many thanks in advanced for your help and support

Check to see if mod_rewrite is enabled on your host. amember admin /version info / do a search for mod_rewrite enabled. If you see it you can have amember fix the code to allow it.

If its not present, send a tech support ticket to your host to enable it.

Thanks for the reply David!

I have spoken to 1and1 (my host) and they have advised that it is definitely switched on. I have tried the following code in a .htaccess and php.ini file and still nothing:

RewriteEngine On

Am I missing something here?

This hack will override and allow you to use new_rewrite.

Thanks David!

I put the code into the protection_methods.inc.php file at the top but within my admin side of the membership database I get an error now???

Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /homepages/.........../admin/protection_methods.inc.php on line 310

Not sure what this means?

I checked in 301 and I saw this

?>

not sure what you did, you should have just added // before
elseif ($ret != '2-second_file')
and
return "RewriteRule doesn't work in .htaccess files on this server";

so it looks like this
// elseif ($ret != '2-second_file')
// return "RewriteRule doesn't work in .htaccess files on this server";

Hi 519,

You might have added/remove some important code accidentally.

Can you restore to your backup file and try editing it again?
