I read the security recommendations and saw I should .htaccess password protect the /admin directory. I tried doing this with the protect directory option on my host (Site5) but when I try to access the /admin it give me the standard 404 page not found. Anyone have any ideas on this? Thank you!


Heres what my .htaccess looks like:
AuthType Basic

AuthName "Admin Area"

AuthUserFile "/home/sitename/.htpasswds/admin/passwd"

require valid-user
