Password protecting a page in Golive

Hi there,

I am a newcomer to website building so should anyone be able to help, I'm very much a non-tech person, but trying to learn,

My problem, I want to password protect a website page and have followed the instructions in the Adobe help to the letter. I've generated the password, named the protected page with the non encrypted password and so on. All works fine when I test it off-line using the files on my pc, but as soon as I copy the files to my website server, when clicking on the link that usually launches the password entry box, nothing happens. (there is an 'error on page' that appears at the bottom left of the screen, but only on my laptop that has vista, not on my pc with XP)

I'm using Govelive CS2 and my website is via Linux hosting with easily.co.uk.

Can anyone help please?

I'm not familiar with the tutorial you followed and don't know what method of password protection it suggests so i can't help you with that.

Most hosts (other then the free ones) have a c-panel interface you can log into and easily set a subdirectory of your site to be password protected.

The next easiest method is .htaccess. Here's a tutorial:

Hi Wiser3. Thank you for your advice, I'll give the .htaccess a go.
