New Version of Password Protection Plugin

I added file revisioning support to .htaccess files, so that every time you update or change the .htaccess files it saves the old copy. The next release will provide a DIFF view of the differences. Version 4.7 Almost Done

You can view the plugins home page, or view it on the wordpress.org site.

Also fixed all the bugs I was notified about or found, and provided the option to bypass some of the testing if you know your server supports something.

I have to get back to my real job now :) but for the next release I'm going to add a whole user-management area to add and remove users and groups from .htpasswd files.

Then it will be ready to start using the advanced SID's like mod_security..

I use your plugin and am very happy with it but am reluctant to upgrade to 4.5 until we see some more information on changes plus any special instructions when performing the upgrade itself.
Hope to see something shortly as I am keen to move to the later version.
Whilst I'm here... thanks a mil for your excellent contributions to the WP community.

Invalid command 'AuthDigestFile', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration, referer: http://www.askapache.com
In Apache 2.2 AuthDigestFile has been changed to AuthUserFile. If running httpd 2.2.x change all occurrances in the plugin file

Fixed for 4.6

Hi AskApache,
I have installed the latest version of this plugin. I think the test prior to using the plugin is excellent.
When I first ran the test, it failed on mod_auth_digest. After uncommenting the "Load Module" on httpd.conf file and restarting the server, php info displayed "mod_auth_digest" as one of the Loaded module. However, when I reran the test, it still reported the same issue as the first run, i.e.
```
[mod_auth_digest_support] => 0
...
Now we know the encryption and apache module capabilities of your site. This test literally logs in to your server using Digest Authenticationts, providing the ultimate answer as to if your server supports this scheme.
 
[fail ] Major bummer... you don't have mod_auth_digest! (included in apache since 1.1)
```
It'd be great if you could point out if there is anything else required to install mod_auth_digest for Password Protection to work.
Many thanks.
Julie

Been trying to install the plugin onto a wordpress server that lives on an Apple server. setup is telling me it can't find mod_auth_digest, when that plugin is installed, however under a slightly different name as "mod_auth_digest_apple.so" any ideas on how to make this slightly different module work with your plugin?

Any update on when 4.7 will be released?

The plugin looks very cool overall. I couldn't get it to function with WordPress 2.71.

Fsockopen and all the encryption tests passed but a few of the other things didn't.
It may be from WordPress being in a subdirectory but the index.php in the site root. I tried the hack described in the WordPress forum by changing line 1545 of the code from
```
$home_path = rtrim( get_home_path(), '/' ) . '/';
```
to
```
$home_path = rtrim( get_home_path(), '/' ) . $path;
```
but that didn't solve the problem.
My host is InMotion Hosting and I think all the necessary capabilities are in effect.
Do you have any suggestions. I was really hoping to be able to use this.
If not, do you have any basic advice for me to manually install some http authentication somehow?
Thanks.

Hello,
I'm running wordpress 2.92, apache 2.2.14, php 5.2.11 and have downloaded the AskApache Password Protection Plugin latest version from wp's site. In running the tests I'm getting failures to find modules, mod_auth_digest is not found and utilized even though it is loaded in httpd.conf. This is on a virtual host. The test output returns error 500's for the tests, but nothing in the logs nor did changing debug to 1 reveal the reasons why.
I'd very much like to get this plugin working.
Thanks.
Dave.
