that is a linked directory. you can password protect a link directory.

i tried protecting ../awstats (where /public_html/stats is linked to)

but it gives a error on INTERNAL SERVER CONFIG ERROR.

anyone knows how to password protect this /stats folder?

On my servers (70) stats is a real directory not linked to anything. It has links inside of stats but stats itself can be password protected.

alright. it works now. thanks

is there any way to automate this process?
I mean every time a user is created to create the stats folder and password protect
the directory with the password of the user?

Yes, DirectAdmin allows you to create a shell script which will run every time a user is created. Search these forums.

Thanks for the reply Jeff

My only problem before creating this script is the password.
When DA creates a user it creates a password and i think that there isn't a password variable like the username ($username).

Hello,

The user_create_post.sh does have a passwd variable (it's passwd, and not passsword)
http://www.directadmin.com/features.php?id=183

However, you really should use the domain_create_post.sh instead of the user_create_post.sh in the event that the existing User creates a 2nd domain.

In that event, if you want the password to match the DA password, then you can grab the hash from /home/username/.shadow and use that in the .htpasswd file. Setup the .htaccess and .htpasswd files manually. No real need to use the API, since it's just some basic file setup.

/home/user/domains/domain.com/.htpasswd/awstats/.htpasswd
/home/user/domains/domain.com/awstats/.htaccess

Set it up through DA once to learn what contents you need to add in your script.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply John.
I created a very begginer's scirpt for this.

touch /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/domain_create_post.sh
chown diradmin.diradmin /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/domain_create_post.sh
chmod +x /usr/local/directadmin/scripts/custom/domain_create_post.sh

--Begin--
mkdir /home/$username/domains/$domain/.htpasswd/awstats/
touch /home/$username/domains/$domain/.htpasswd/awstats/.htpasswd
echo $username /home/$username/domains/$domain/.htpasswd/awstats/.htpasswd
tmpPass=`cat /home/$username/.shadow`
tmpUser=$username:
echo $tmpUser$tmpPass >> /home/$username/domains/$domain/.htpasswd/awstats/.htpasswd
chown -R $username:$username /home/$username/domains/$domain/.htpasswd/awstats/

mkdir /home/$username/domains/$domain/awstats/
touch /home/$username/domains/$domain/awstats/.htaccess
chown -R $username:$username /home/$username/domains/$domain/awstats/


echo "AuthGroupFile /dev/null" >> /home/$username/domains/$domain/awstats/.htaccess
echo "AuthName \"Member's Area\" " >> /home/$username/domains/$domain/awstats/.htaccess
echo "AuthType Basic" >> /home/$username/domains/$domain/awstats/.htaccess
echo "AuthUserFile /home/$username/domains/$domain/.htpasswd/awstats/.htpasswd" >> /home/$username/domains/$domain/awstats/.htaccess
echo "require valid-user" >> /home/$username/domains/$domain/awstats/.htaccess
ln -s /home/$username/domains/$domain/awstats/ /home/$username/domains/$domain/public_html/stats

exit 0;

--End--
If you have any comments please post it here

I will try to create a script that updates all the current users
