To create an htpasswd file containing the users and passwords
- you can go to a public htaccess/htpasswd generator and copy the contents of what the "And this is what your .htpasswd file should look like..." box has
- or you can use the htpasswd command (first time with -c)
htpasswd -c .htpasswd USERNAME
The file should contain lines like this: USERNAME:3Ce3F4zRcVf42
The file should be owned by apache:apache and have 600 permissions, so copy it over, then, as root:
cp .htpasswd /var/hda/web-apps/htpasswd
chmod 600 /var/hda/web-apps/htpasswd
chown apache:apache /var/hda/web-apps/htpasswd
