I am having troubles password protecting a directory in CPanel. When I password protect a directory and try to access it I get a 403 forbidden and a 404 not found.

Front Page is not installed so I know that isn't the problem. Any help?

Thanks,
Patrick

This usually happens when you don't put anything in the resource field.

What should be in the resource field?

BTW, thank you for your help.

Ok, I put a resource name in and files already exists in that folder including and index file. Still gives me a 403 without prompting for a password. Can you think of anything else it could be?

check your dir permission.
