htaccess files

[Mike Burdick]

I need some help with a htaccess file. Does anyone know of a good forum that I could get some help from?

Thanks...

There's a htaccess forum here http://mod-rewrite.com/forum/, but we may be able to help if we knew the problem.

Thanks Fang!

I have a directory that is password protected using .htaccess. It is in a subdomain like this: mysubdomain.mydomain.com. I have several perl scripts that run within this directory and they are called by '/mysubdomain.mydomain.com/cgi-bin/perl.pl'

I’m not that knowledgeable about .htaccess files but I would like to use the RewriteRule to make sure the url is mysubdomain.mydomain.com instead of www.mysubdomain.com to avoid having them enter the user name and password again after the scripts have run.

The problem as I see it is that by the time I get the url stripped of the www it's already in the directory and therefore will ask for the password again. What are your thoughts regarding this?


Thanks...

Mike
