Keeping it from being accessed by common people? :~/

1) Creating a USER file: (Apache.org DOCs)

Start > Run > cmd [ PRESS ENTER ]

cd "C:/[ PATH TO APACHE ]/bin"
htpasswd -c c:\users.auth [YOUR USER NAME] [ PRESS ENTER ]
[ enter your password ]


When that's done, move your users.auth file to somewhere outside your HTDOCS folder but somewhere you remember.


2) Editing Apache's Config to check users. (Apache.org DOCs)

< Directory "C:/[ PATH TO HTDOCS/phpmyadmin">

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Custom Title Here"
AuthUserFile c:/path/to/user/from/ApacheDIR/users.auth
Require valid-user

[ ALL OTHER OPTIONS YOU WANT ]

</Directory>

3) Restart Apache

Make sure the httpd.confg is saved, then restart Apache.




It does take some practice to get it just right, but it's not _too_ hard. You got my SN if you need me to hold your hand and walk you through it

or.. Restrict by IP address

< Directory "C:/[ PATH TO HTDOCS/phpmyadmin">

Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

</Directory>

Restart Apache

Make sure the httpd.confg is saved, then restart Apache.
