TwitterSo I thought I'd test the Password Protection feature and tried to set up protection on a new folder [domain]/secure
From
Websites & Domains > Advanced Settings > Password-protected Directories
Add Protected Directory > Directory name = "/secure" OK
I then selected the new folder "/secure" and continued to "Add New User"
That seemed pretty easy and as expected. However, I then discovered a few issues
[1] visiting [domain]/secure prompted for login credentials and upon entering them it rejected and continued to prompt for login details. Inspecting the directory structure (via remote desktop to server) I could not find a new folder named "secure"
[2] visiting [domain] had the same result as [1] - ie the whole domain was now password protected and wouldn't authorise the user/pw
[3] After removing the protection from the directory, plesk returned " Protection was successfully removed from the selected directories.", however [2] was still an issue.
So I was unable to get a working protected directory as intended and now the whole website is protected and will not authorise even with the user/pw that was set up.
Help!
