Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

put this into the bin/.htaccess

change localhost to your ip

<FilesMatch "configure.*">
   SetHandler cgi-script
   Order Deny,Allow
   Deny from all
   allow from localhost
</FilesMatch>

The alternative is to name a user in the .htpasswd file; example:

<FilesMatch "configure.*">
   require user WillDeng
</FilesMatch>
