ur site isnt working for me

but ok
i got phpmyadmin running fine. now i want to make it so when i go to the secret fold name that it asks to login like when you go to a web site were the .htaccess is asking you to log in

also how would i do .htaccess? i dont know what to put for AuthUserFile
i have one but when i go to the site nothing happens just loads the page like it cant access the .htaccess but i changed my httpd.conf file to allow that file to override its settings.
