Re: [Tclhttpd-users] [Fwd: Access Control in tclhttpd]

[Daniel S. <dan...@ya...>]

Was there any follow-up to this one? 
 
I am having the exact same problem.  I search c.l.t also and did not  find anything. 
 
I am running Windows XP SP2 and tclhttpd3.5.1.kit.  I have also created  a c:\tmp directory to solve the startup issue. 
 
I have Activetcl8.4.11.0 installed and I start by double clicking the  icon of tclhttpd3.5.1 
 
But like Sven I cannot get to browse to /htaccess. 
 
I am trying to log with username:  webmaster and the password found in  tmp\tclhttpd.default 
 
I have also try the CVS nigthly version with no results. 
 
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Erik, 
 
I"ll take this offline and see if Svenn and I can work out what"s going 
on.  If there"s general value, I"ll feed it back. 
 
Colin.
