Well, overjoyed with my Bubba server’s web hosting capabilities I’ve decided to set it up for testing the various CMS systems I’ve had my eye on (joomla, CMSimple and Wordpress I’m already using elsewhere, MoveableType and Drupal are on the todo list) as well as trying out some templates for people.
Of course the thing is, I don’t really want it [i]that [/i]visible on the net. I don’t have a domain name, just a fixed IP but I get a little paranoid in these matters.
So I thought, lets just set up a password protected folder on the website. It’s Apache on Debian so htaccess will let me do that.
Well yes, but the only thing the article from About on setting up .htaccess and .htpasswd does not say that you might need to adjust the settings for Apache to enable this feature.
A GUI is not part of the sterling features of the Bubba (there’s got to be some cost for the low power draw ARM CPU) so I’m having to learn vi as well. How complicated can one text editor be?!
Well I’m nearly there but it got to 1am and I decided that it was high time to go to bed.
