1.AuthUserFile c:/wamp/www/php/.htpasswd
2.AuthGroupFile /dev/null
3.AuthName "My Private Directory"
4.AuthType Basic

5.<Limit GET POST>
6.require valid-user
</Limit>
….
and are there any other options to work with ?? thanks alot.
and so what ? i forgot to classify my question ..is that a crime ? any way you dont know maybe lesbians and gay people have some knowledge with php.

The first three are telling you where to find things.

For example, in the first one – the letter C is used for your computer’s hard drive, so it’s tell you that "AuthUserFile" is in the ".htpasswd" folder, which is in the "php" folder, which is in the "www" folder, which is in the "wamp" folder, which is on your hard drive (codenamed "c:").

The second one I’m not sure about, since a "/dev" folder is normally found in Linux machines, but the first one says it can be found in c:, which is only on Windows machines. Try doing a search for a folder named "dev," you might find one. I’m not sure.

The third one is telling you that the name of the place you’ve created is "My Private Directory."

The fourth one is telling you that the code used for whatever you just made is Basic. There are tons of different types of code languages out there: C++, Python, Cobal, Basic, Java, etc.

Five and six… I have no idea. You didn’t really give us a bunch of information, so I can’t really tell you anything about those lines.

I hope that helps. And you might want to try re-posting this question in a computer category. You’ll get a lot more help.

  3. Number 2 and 4 mean: "miscategorized"

    And 5 and 6 mean: "this is posted in the wrong forum"

    I think 1 also means "you posted this in the wrong forum", but I can’t tell without a full server log.
