Doesn't Work No Matter What I Do

I just can't get this to work. I get it installed fine and can add products and members but whenever a member tries to access a protected area there is a login box that pops up and the user name and pass word won't work.

You have specified incorrect filepaths in your .htaccess file. Please go to
aMember CP -> Info and some URLs to get example of working .htaccess file.

Hi,
I have the same problem...

I have gone to to aMember CP -> Info and some URLs and copied & pasted the info for a good .htaccess file into the .htaccess file for my members dir.

Gotten PW auth failed error message.

I have copied and pasted the AB path from my site admin-file manager into the .htaccess file and recieved the same error message...

I setup Apache to handle UN & PW and it works fine. (other than the manual setup stuff) :lol:

any suggestions would be helpfull... :unsure:

Thanks

Please check that "Require group" line in .htaccess contains actual product numbers.
Please check that your member has at least one ACTIVE subscription to a product mentioned in .htaccess.

If nothing helps, paste the following files here:
- your .htaccess
- amember/data/.htpasswd
- amember/data/.htgroup

these files shouldn't contain any sensitive info - you will see. If files are hidden, use webhosting control panel to get them.

No mather what I try I can't seem to log in. Here are my files.

.htaccess

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Welcome to the members area of Sparkle Nguyen"
AuthGroupFile home/virtual/site19/fst/var/www/html/amember/data/.htgroup
AuthUserFile home/virtual/site19/fst/var/www/html/amember/data/.htpasswd
Require group PRODUCT_1 PRODUCT_2 PRODUCT_3



- amember/data/.htpasswd

citivibe:c0onz2XZrsXE6



- amember/data/.htgroup

PRODUCT_3: citivibe

AuthGroupFile home/virtual/site19/fst/var/www/html/amember/data/.htgroup
AuthUserFile home/virtual/site19/fst/var/www/html/amember/data/.htpasswd

!!!!!!!

it should be
AuthGroupFile /home/virtual/site19/fst/var/www/html/amember/data/.htgroup
AuthUserFile /home/virtual/site19/fst/var/www/html/amember/data/.htpasswd

I didn't even notice that. I figure it would end up being something simple. Thanks for the quick responce.

Cannot protect directory

HI, I tried everything I have read and I cannot protect my directory, My directory is in www.netxtrem.com/trucos and the file to protect is trucos.htm
I placed the htaccess file inside the trucos directory and this is what I wrote in it:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "trucos para la pc- possible the same for entire site"
AuthUserFile /home/www/netxtrem/amember/data/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /home/www/netxtrem/amember/data/.htgroup
Require group PRODUCT_1
what am I doing wrong?

Im using the free version of amember, hopping to upgrade

Just for future reference I'd previously set up amember not to encrypt passwords in the .htpasswd file and it never worked properly. I got the same error as the above posters
As soon as I changed it so amember encrypted the passwords it worked fine, the .htpasswd file seems to like encrypted passwords
I don't know if this is a relevant point but it worked for me

I have the same problem here as most people in this thread. i copy/pasted the .htaccess sample thats found in the CP to an .htaccess file and placed it in a directory that I want to protect. The "require group" does point to an actual product number with one active subscriber on. And paths to .htaccess and .htgroup are correct!

The pop-up login prompt keeps on rejecting the user even though the correct login info is given.

Im really stumped! , im using the free version btw..

.htaccess

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Members Only"
AuthUserFile /home/yahoopin/public_html/amember/data/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /home/yahoopin/public_html/amember/data/.htgroup
Require group PRODUCT_4
​

.htgroup

PRODUCT_4: julie​

.htpasswd

julie:1234​

Alex, I hope your good mood for giving support to freeloaders like me is still good for one more shot!
