[freeside] Fw: [freeside] auth prob

[Andrew Wafula]

The path to your password file is wrong. It should not be your mapsecrets file but a file created using htpasswd. eg 
#htpasswd -c /usr/local/apache/conf/freesideusers [username]
This will create the password file and a user in the password file with the username. it will ask you to enter that users password. Then you need to edit your .htaccess file to read
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/conf/freesideusers

The name freesideusers is just an example :-).

Things should be okay after that point.

  okay i have now put in dir /usr/local/apache/htdocs/freeside  a .htaccess fiile that looks like this 
  Deny from all
  AuthType Basic
  AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/freeside/mapsecrets
  AuthName "crystal.com.au Freeside Server"
  Require valid-user
  Satisfy any

  now the login prompt comes up but i still cant get in !!
  in /usr/local/etc/freeside/ i have a file called mapsecrets in that is 
  freeside secretfile

  noe in the secretfile if i have read the docs right i have 
  DBI:Pg:host=localhost;dbname=freeside
