Thanks in advance for the help. Two problems...im running Apache on a NT system (some would call that a problem in its own right), but for some reason, the scripts aren't being read. Their not in a CGI folder, it's just one of the scripts that need to be read is in 'F:/inetpub/scripts/'

<Directory "f:/inetpub/scripts/">
AllowOverride None
Options None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

Problem number two would be, I was able to get my Apache to read my .htaccess file (thanks to JdS), which was suppose to read a .htpasswd file in a subdirectory of the .cgi script, but its not doing it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The script you talk about, what are they (cgi or php)? When you say the scripts are not being read? What do you mean? What are the (apache) error logs saying?

Details are VERY important if you want help on a forum like this. Without details, you will find most people ignoring your request for assistance or help.

Just fixed it 10 minutes ago...

Turns out the person who set up my security.cgi didnt set up the correct Perl directory, so i went ahead fixed that, so now im wondering if that was the reason the .htaccess file wasnt reading the .htpasswd file because of this. So is there any way to check if its reading the .htpasswd file? aside from entering in a password of course. Thanks for the help.
