This is not a dokuwiki issue why u are so lazy to read the apache docs ? - rtfm ! if u are running apache2 look here http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/htaccess.html for your understanding in etc/apache2/sites-avaible there should be entry for the directory most likely there is a default file There should be an entry like this, dude Alias /downloads/ "/var/www/yourwiki/data/media/wiki/here/wego/" <Directory "/var/www/yourwiki/data/media/wiki/here/wego/"> Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks AllowOverride AuthConfig #enable htaccess file Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128 # modify this </Directory> dont forget to enable the site with command a2ensite or simply create a symlink in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled go to the directory and create with #vi .htaccess add these contents to the file AuthType Basic AuthName "Downloads" AuthBasicProvider file # u should know how to create a htpasswd file # if not rtfm AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/web.passwd Require valid-user these entries will allow authentification keep in mind u have to create a user in the passwd file with the user look at man htpasswd or apache docs sorry for being so rude, but I get the feeling that sometimes people don't use their brain or don't want to use it therefore u should look at http://forum.dokuwiki.org/ cu vinh On Friday 09 November 2007 08:25:27 Jan Tönjes wrote: > Hi, > > I would like to secure downloads from dokuwiki.
