Re: [Gnump3d-users] htpasswd question

[Ray Tran]

It looks like you are using Apache to serve your files _not_ Gnump3d.

My /guess/ is that the upgrade added an "AllowOverride None"  
directive somewhere in your Apache config which is preventing  
the .htaccess file from being read. You need to use "AllowOverride  
AuthConfig" or "AllowOverride All" in order to use auth settings  
in .htaccess. I can't say where about in your Apache config to put  
this directive because it depends on how the rest of the file is  
written. You should look here:
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride
for a full description.

If you are actually using Gnump3d to serve your music then auth is  
controlled with the .password file in you music directory.
