You need to create a text file called ".htaccess" that lives in the directory you want protected.

Choose the directory you wish to protect. (one note about this - if you click on the name of the directory you are choosing that directory.

Check your server error log. This problem is usually caused because the server is not allowing the script to rewrite the member file when it is being updated. The commonest reason for this is disk space shortage. If you are on a shared server, then your own disk usage may be well under your theoretical disk allowance, but that is only a logical, not a physical allowance. In other words, the physical disk can be full even if you have been allocated a couple of Gb and are only using 10Kb.

You are welcome to take a look at it if you want. The simple Access DB need to be created as a datasource called "SampleDB". It uses session variables, and requires CF4. not a solution for all apps, but gives an idea of a general security structure. All the login sequence info is stored in the _Login.
