i try and access my site the login box pops up like its meant to but when i type in my username and password it doesnt work the box carries on poping up 3 tmes and then says:

Quote:
Authorization Required
This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required

my guess would be that there's a problem with the contents of .htpasswd itself, what did you use to generate the encrypted password(s)?

I used the password tool on this website

As a test, try using plain text passwords and see if that works, if it doesnt its must be to do with the path to the password file rather than the file itself

i have tried that and it still isnt working so iv got to look for another host that supports it. i dont mind paying a SMALL fee but the site has to accept SOLO payments
