Is this download folder in the root of your dolphin site? Inother words, is it in the same area where all the other dolphin folders are such as modules, plugins, templates, ect.

Reason i as is becuse it's acting like it's not there.

Hello Deano92964

the download folder is right underneath public_html - in this folder I have .htaccess & index.html

it is the same level as dolphin "Administration folder or modules folder" download permission is set to 755

thanks

Hi Deano92946

in admin/navigation menu - i edit the "Download Lessons" I use this for url "http://guitarelements.com/download/index.html"

that is where the download page is

thanks

Then it should be working.

Have any custom mods been done to the .htaccess file in root?

Could be a server issue also. Another thing you can try.

Remove the .htaccess file from your download folder.

Other than that, i am at a loss. Should be working.

Hi Deano92964

I did install 5 new mods today before this issue happened. So i did update .htaccess at the root public_html

but i found there are many other.htaccess on a lot of folders -- the only one I update is the root .htaccess filed

thanks

I know there are a lot of .htaccess files. But i asked if the one in root was changed. As it is the only one that would affect this. Other than the one in the download folder itself.

But my guess is a change to the root .htaccess file is the cause.

Hi Deano94964

AWESOME, AWESOME

You did it. I rename .htaccess in download folder. I refresh the page and go back click on "Download Lessons"

YEAH it works, open up my doan load page

THANK YOU

What is the content of that .htaccess file you renamed?

here is the content of the .htacess in download folder as I rename it to something else.

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Premium Members Access Only"
require valid-user
AuthUserFile "/home/guitar/.htpasswds/public_html/download/passwd"

I put password protection on the download folder - I beleive because that, it give me the .htaccess.

---

I have a question.

now the download pahe open.

I am going to have a few folders inside download folder.

when students open one of the folder to download lessons, they have to login as I am intend to put password protection for these folders inside download foder.

do you think it will works, as only Premimum members can get access to download by login. Free members can not download

thanks

Hello Deano94964,

I am having the same Issues. This time I created a link called "Members Only" to access lessons. Only register members can access.

the folder called "training" on my server, have the same level as "adminnistration"

I went to capnel to put password protection on this folder, I also created user admin to allow admin to access this folder.

I can not access the folder after login to the site and click on the "Members Only"

it said "Profile Not available to view"

I went to the "training" folder to see if there is .htaccess file, as you teach me before. so I renema this file.

It allow me to get in.

I logout as admin

I refresh the homepage

i click on the "Members Only" it let me in

How do I do so only register members can access, NO Guest or the public can access this.

Thanks

The folder with the images should be added to a robots.txt file so the google bots will not index it.

Place a .htaccess file in the images folder that has this in it.

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>
IndexIgnore */*

That will stop casual browsing of the folder.

Then your page.html needs to be written in PHP instead for dolphin so it can check membership.

You can start with the dolphin help.php as a starting point

I don't think the directory password methods will work with dolphin. You need to throw out those old methods and write pages for use with dolphin.

The old method would require you manually add your members to the password file anyway. If you write a dolphin specific php page instead you would not have to worry about any of that.

But it will take you some time to learn how to do it.
