I have Centos 5.6 deployed along with Kloxo. Now I want to password protect my website. It means user has to provide uid/pwd to login (like this: http://www.elated.com/articles/password-protecting-your-pages-with-htaccess/)

I have configured Apache (AllowOverride = All) and created .htaccess, placing it in root document and .htpasswd file in upper folder. However, this does not work, I still can access my site without being asked for authentication by providing uid/pwd. (I did the same in Amazon EC2 and it worked great.) I guess I have to configure Kloxo for authentication, but I am newbie to Kloxo.

Can anyone help me configure authentication?

What do you mean by "does not work"? What happens? – Chris Down May 24 '12 at 11:53

I found out that we can use Protected Directories feature in Kloxo to password protect our website. However, the remaining concern is that if it failed to read .htaccess, then how can we rewrite URL, SEO... I'll check it out and report back later. – Tran Duc Vuong May 24 '12 at 13:31
