Restricting Linux hosting web folder with Username/password

Connect the server using FTP and check .htaccess and .htpasswd file present or not. If these file preset then download it and modify as per given instructions. If no .htaccess and .htpasswd file present then you can create two text files in local desktop and rename it as .htaccess and .htpasswd and upload it with bellow rules.

Sample .htaccess file
================
AuthType Basic
AuthName “Password Required”
AuthUserFile  /WEB_PATH/Directory_to_be_protected/.htpasswd
require user username

WEB_PATH is /webcorp1/www/corpusers/a/b/abc.com/ is your domain abc.com
Directory_to_be_protected is your folder name to be protected.
admin is the user name.

Creating .htpasswd file
=================

If you have any Linux server with apache installed then you can use htpasswd command to genererate file.

To create the password file, use the htpasswd utility that came with Apache. This will be located in the bin directory of wherever you installed Apache. For example, it will probably be located at /usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd if you installed Apache from source.

To create the file, type:

htpasswd -c /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords username

htpasswd will ask you for the password, and then ask you to type it again to confirm it:

# htpasswd -c /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords rbowen
New password: mypassword
Re-type new password: mypassword
Adding password for user rbowen

If do not have Linux installed then use bellow link to generate..

(a) Open the link  http://www.htaccesstools.com/htpasswd-generator/ in your bowser and  generate .htpasswd  by giving required user name and password.
(b) Upload .htpasswd file to the required folder

Sample .htpasswd file
==================
username:$apr1$1hbVM…$/conxPl0ZbKqmAkuoMvhb.

After uploading these two file, then open the URL in browser, it must ask user/pass and enter the username/password that you have used to create .htpasswd file.

Create a CNAME record for your blog’s address, which should be a subdomain of the form http://www.example.com.
To create a CNAME record for your domain with the DNS, associating your domain with ghs.google.com. The exact procedure for doing this varies depending on your domain registrar, but you can find instructions for many common registrars here. If yours isn’t listed, or if you run into other difficulties, you can contact your registrar directly and they’ll be able to help you out.
• Create ‘A’ NAME records for your naked domain (blog.com)
Creating A records for your naked domain is important as it allows Google to redirect people who use in your naked domain name (blog.com) to your blog page (www.example.com). If you do not do this, visitors who leave off the www will see an error page.
There are four separate A records you will create, and can be done from the same control panel you accessed your CNAME records. Simply point your naked domain (example.com, without the ‘www’) to each of the following IP addresses: ( please check for latest IP as these may be different than mentioned here)
216.239.32.21
216.239.34.21
216.239.36.21
216.239.38.21
10. After the DNS reflection your blog will be up and working with both www
and without http://www.domainname.com

Active Server Pages, ASP 0131 Disallowed Parent Path

Active Server Pages, ASP 0131
Disallowed Parent Path
The Include file ‘../’ cannot contain ‘..’ to indicate the parent directory.
//, line

This error occur, if your web application is using relative path which is including statements with Microsoft’s Active Server Pages (ASP) and the browsing on a Web page there by returns an error message similar to the one displayed above.

This is caused by disabled ASP’s “parent paths” in IIS 6 for a Web site or application while using relative parent paths in an include statement. Enabling ASP’s “parent paths” may constitute a security risk (view of the hackers able exploid this ) because an include path can access critical or confidential files outside the root directory of your web application.

Relative Parent Paths includes statements in the following form:
<–#include file=”../<filename.ext>”–>

The best solution towards this issue is to use absolute virtual paths from the root of the Web site instead of Relative Paths.
The syntax example below illustrates how to implement absolute virtual paths:
<!–#include virtual=”/<virtual path>/<filename.ext>”–>

There by, we request you to make appropriate modifications in your application code to take advantage of the better, robust and more secure environment provided by IIS 6 and avoid the usage of Realtive Paths.
