mod_ssl & .htaccess ;)

Huge success today!!

Last week i was able to create and implement my self-signed ssl cert for my web server... but big deal! it really wasn't securing anything :(

So, today, i finally figured out how to:
- use the htpasswd utility,
- create .htaccess files and put them in the directories you want to secure, and
- edit the httpd.conf file to have Apache use those files (.htaccess files).

Wow! What a relief!!
