I have not built my site yet, but I want to build my site using html. I read in the directions that php_include is the recommended protection method to use, however that does not support html pages. Then I read that php_include with mod_rewrite can protect html pages, but when I go to my aMember CP -> Setup I only see .htpasswd and PHPInclude at the top even though I chose new_rewrite on the plugins list. How do I protect html pages? I will create my site in php, however I really don't want to. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.
new_rewrite is disable by some reason. The reason is outlined near the "new_rewrite" item - please paste it here, then we could help. Second question: try to access http://www.yoursite.com/amember/data/tests/mod_rewrite/1.php What do you see?
Okay, I've actually figured out how to protect a directory using php_include with new_rewrite; so my question now is after I have created the folder and protected it, do I put my files (home page, images, additional site pages) in that folder? I created a test page and put it in the protected folder, but when I tried to access it from the browser directly it allowed me to ... so I did something wrong. Can someone help? Thanks. Sorry for all of the questions, I'm just somewhat new to this and I'm under a crunch to get this site functional before the end of the year (yes that's by next Friday).
Do Logout, then close all browser windows, open new one and try again. Still able to access protected page? Which HTML editor/publishing software do you use? Is it FrontPage?
Okay, that worked and everything is almost great. I am just a little confused about something and the manual isn't making this very clear: I created a test folder and protected it. Then I created a test page called index.html (just in notepad; really simple the screen says "Hello"). Then I set up a product with the URL being http://www.mysite.com/subscription_educator/index.html. And last I set up a new member to access this product. But when I log in as the client it does not take me to the "hello" page it gives me the following error: Not Found The requested URL /subscription_educator was not found on this server. So my question is how do I get it to work so that the client loggs into the site and it takes them to the index.html page? I know the page has to be in the protected folder, but is the protected folder supposed to be in the amember folder? P.S. I'm using Dreamweaver.
I'm unable to help until your provide ftp info and exact URLs with login info. https://www.amember.com/support/
