<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">This really isn't a smokeping question, and it's been so long since I've done this that I don't recall the details on how Apache handles it.<br>
<br>
I'd do some google searches, or ask on a "newbie" apache list.<br>
Here's a good place to start: </span><a style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;" href="http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html">http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html</a> <br>
<span style=" font-family:'Courier New'; font-size: 9pt;">[I won't try to guess what's wrong - but a close review of your configs etc will probably get you there.]<br>
<br>
Sorry I can't offer more.<br>

I’m having some problems trying to password protect my Smokeping instance for some reason and I don’t know why the password protection stopped working some time ago. My .htaccess and .htpasswd files are both located in /usr/share/smokeping/cgi-bin folder. Is this where these files need to be? Do they need to be somewhere else?<br>
