Internal Server Error - htaccess protection

[Guest]

Hi All

i was looking at a few suggestions in my ACP on security, and i enabled a secondary .htaccess protection, it said it would ask for a username and password right away, i entered my admin account and now i just get a internal server error when i try and access my /admin section, this error came up right after i entered my details

can anyone help me revert the change? i cant seem to find a .htaccess file in the root of my forum directoy on my ftp client..

 

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@forum.theperthguild.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Actually its created a .htpasswd in the /admin section and there is a .htaccess

looks like if i remove both the .htaccess and htpasswd it seems to work...

Try it without the Friendly URL feature in the IPS site activated and see if it works correctly then.  If so, then the modified .htaccess that is being created apparently does not add the FURL ability in when enabled (could be a bug).
