Need htaccess help! - GoFuckYourself.com

WebTitan · 05-17-2007, 10:54 AM

i have a directory that i need to protect, BUT have multiple password files that will give access to that directory. basicly a chat board for members of multiple websites so it needs to consult multiple password files for access.

anyone know if this can be done?

Normally, it is the other way around :

4 or 5 sites sharing the same password file thru their respective .htaccess file...

Search, there must be a solution ... I have no time to do that search .. sorry.

yes, same server. couple of different drives, but same physical machine

Then the easiest way would be to join all the htpasswd files into a new one for the forum. You could have a cronjob doing it every few minutes to keep the new file updated.

Something like "cat passfile1 passfile2 passfile3 passfile4 > newpassfile" and then have the htaccess for the forum point to newpassfile

for the cron job, if this could work, you can use rsync to keep the files " synced " ...
