.htaccess not working on my phpMyAdmin folder

  • 772

I have a phpMyAdmin folder. So first I set .htaccess folder and type this in it.

AuthUserFile /var/www/html/phpMyAdmin-3.4/.htpasswd
AuthName "phpMyAdmin Login Page"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user

The I created the username and password using this command

sudo htpasswd -c .htpasswd iamadmin

...and I could see both the .htaccess and .htpasswd files are in the folder. But when I go my link it never prompt for the additional username and password. My OS is centos 6.2

centos .htaccess

    You will most likely need to configure your server to allow AuthConfig directives in .htpasswd files. Add an

    AllowOverride AuthConfig

    in a suitable place in your httpd configuration (/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf) file and restart apache

    service httpd restart

    See also the apache docs

    1. Click on the Wamp Server icon (phpmyadmin)
    2. Select Apache
    3. Select Apache Modules
    4. Select rewrite_module
    5. Restart Your Wamp Server
    6. Run your program.

    If this not working there is problem with your .htaccess file.
