How to password protect your site

this requires two files: one for the username(s) with an encrypted password and one with the path to the password file.

1. create a new file and name it ".htpasswd"
2. go to http://www.4webhelp.net/us/password.php and enter the desired username and password
3. in it put the username and password, copied from step 2
4. create another file and name it ".htaccess"
5. copy and paste:

AuthUserFile /path-to-htpassword-file/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Login Details"
Require valid-user

remember to change "path-to-htpassword-file" to the path you have to your .htpasswd file
"Login Details" can be changed to whatever title you would like

save both files and put in the desired folder of choice

bbm yahoo messenger invalid yahoo id or password

i had this problem and did a battery pull, soft boots (left alt key+right shift key+del) and still nothing. i added my yahoo email account to my bb, then tried to login, and it worked.

you can try to see if this works for you.

The Windows Installer service cannot update one or more protected Windows files.

i got this error while installing windows suite on a netbook. its caused from a missing front-page extension.

you will need to download this (fp40ext.cab) file. this file can be found on a windows xp cd also in the i386 folder.
install 7-zip. here is the link: http://www.7-zip.org/
extract the extract the contents of fp40ext.cab
copy the fp4autl.dll to "c:\program files\common files\microsoft shared\web server extensions\40\bin\"
right click the file and go to the 7-zip option and click "extract here". you may have to do a restart here.

after that, you can continue with the installation of microsoft office
