Pop Up asking me to enter a server password???

[sebastianthecrab]

so this thing just started today. every time i click on something on the forum, a pop up comes up saying this:

''The server fallen-eminence.net at Restricted Area requires a username and password.

Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).''

when i hit close, it closes but opens a second later. after hitting close like 10 times, it goes away until i click something else.

also, images arent being displayed now.

whats up?

[kataangist™ Is Nostolgic <3]

you probably have a virus or fallen eminence are trying to get peoples passwords (i've never been on that site so i don't know what it is about)

but whatever you do DON'T ENTER YOUR PASSWORD

or you have a computer trojan, thinks that trick your computer or a tracking cookie, sumfin that tracks your stuff.

i'd report this to the website support or just leave the site before something bad happens.

HOPE THIS HELPED!

What site?!?!?

EDIT: That's HTACCESS... Completley normal, and very secure! Unless you are in the HTACCESS file, and if you don't know, you probably don't, there is no getting in there.


EDIT0: Yeah. Nothing wrong with it. The website is probably under new management, and I am trying to figure out if that is that case or not

Guys, just switch your layout to Fiery Summer. Its the only one that doesn't have anything hosted by Akash.

[Lil' Cheney]

I can most certainly try and find those images on my cache, and put them on my site.

The actual site has been closed for months. It's not a recent thing.

[Akash]

I'm really sorry, guys. Good thing Shock Wave IMed me =)

[Lil' Cheney]

so.... what happened, exactly?

[Akash]

I was trying to password protect my site because I was going to remodel it, but I guess I protected everything that I host...

[Lil' Cheney]

Put the HTACCESS file in ONLY the directories that need protection.

Or, in the images folder, use an HTACCESS command that would force it to allow everythig.... I mgiht be able to hget the command here in a minute

hai guess wut, Cheney, he's hosted his site for a few years now and it's pretty sexy. Helping is fine, but your way of thinking you could do everything on DH better isn't.

[Lil' Cheney]

Here.... I'm pretty sure that if you place a blank .HTACCESS file in the images folder, the server will read that instead of the global file for that directory.

[sebastianthecrab]

well, glad its gone.

Yeah, you are right. The problem was the things in my main directory needed to be protected, but I just used my old method of creating a test section.

And I will keep the blank .htaccess in mind for next time. Thanks!
