Please help,

I have zc 1.3.8, gc module 1.4.7, PHP4 on CGI

If Basic Authentication is enabled zen cart speaks nicely to google. If its not it doesnt.

Instructions say:-
---
htaccess Basic Authentication Mode with PHP over CGI? If your site is
installed on a PHP CGI you must disable Basic Authentication over PHP.
---

Then it says
---
To avoid spoofed messages (only if this feature is enabled) reaching
responsehandler.php, set the .htaccess file with the script linked
---

Is it saying I should NEVER use basic authentication and do all my admin from the rather tedious google checkout acount or is it saying that once I have run the script it is fine to use basic authentication over php on CGI?

I hope someone can tell me,

Thanks
