Protect access to files on a web server
This shows how to setup basic auth protection for files or directories.
.htaccess
.htaccess for protecting individual files.
AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile .htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null <Files file_1.foo> require valid-user </Files> <Files file_2.foo> require valid-user </Files>
.htaccess for protecting the whole directory.
AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile .htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null require valid-user
.htpasswd
Create an .htpasswd file for the username "staff":
htpasswd -c .htpasswd user_name
It will look something like this:
staff:H.j5THn495T97
mod_rewrite for MediaWiki friendly URLs
This is a pain in the ass to get right. There are not a lot of pieces, but I had to keep fiddling with it to get it right.
Assuming you want the root directory to be /wiki (just like Wikipedia). For example:
https://www.noah.org/wiki/Htaccess
First move your wiki from wiki/ to w/. This is the filesystem path, not the URI. For example:
mv /var/www/htdocs/wiki /var/www/htdocs/w
MediaWiki LocalSettings.php
$wgScriptPath = "/w"; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";
= .htaccess (above the MediaWiki directory)
RewriteEngine on
# This rewrites URIs in the form /wiki/Article_Name to /w/index.php/Article_Name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/wiki/index.php.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^wiki/?(.*)$ /w/index.php/$1 [L]
# This takes old style links to articles in the form /wiki/index.php/Article_Name and
# redirects them to the new-style format /wiki/Article_Name.
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wiki/index.php/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^wiki/index.php/(.*)$ http://www.noah.org/wiki/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
