I don't password protect the folder with .htaccess, so I wouldn't know. I guess you would put it in the application/controllers/admin folder.[/quote]


I have admin directory in controller for backend purpose. I put .htaccess for password protection but it's not working. I can access admin directory without entering login and password. :ohh:


Is this supposed to work?? or Am I missing some setting to work properly?

Did anyone do this and works fine?[/quote]
I've same question !!
