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
