    I create a .htaccess file and a .htpasswe file, when I go to my intranet website, an authentification popup appear, when I enter the user and the password, it is not accept and it asking for the user and password.
    I’m running EasyPhp on a Windows 2000 computer.

    htaccess:
    AuthUserFile /web/htdocs/www/.htpasswd
    AuthName Motdepasse
    AuthType Basic
    require valid-user

    htpasswd:
    admin:$apr1$dM……$VTTd7aj0BSg6NUSZGyqvH0

    what’s the problem?

    At a guess, the pw is wrongly encoded:

    someone told me that on Windows the password should not be encrypt, is that true?

    That’s an IIS problem, and way beyond what I know…

    I’m not running IIS but EasyPhp!

    Its always going to be hard to support folk that insist on running EasyPhp and other unusual configurations – when you take them on you have to accept that sometimes its not always going to go your way 😀

    I’d bite the bullet and download Apache and PHP and get standard – you’ll learn a thing or two and wind up enjoying the experience a whole lot more. Yeah EasyPHP has these components, but they are not the recommended means for installing the software and its just going to make your life difficult.

    Ok thanks for the advise but that does’t help me right now

    True, but it’s really an easyPHP/Apache question vs WordPress. Obviously we’ll help if we can but you’ll have a better chance finding an answer with an Apache forum.

    Have you tried putting your username in quotes?
    AuthName "Motdepasse"

    I will try that! If I install apache, php and mysql is it much more complicated?
