Password Protect Directories Issue

[keithc]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the "Password Protect Directory" feature through Cpanel but am running into issues.

We have subdirectories setup under public_html and we need to have a specific username/password to access each folder.

For example

/public_html/test123

Username: testing
Password: test123

Other folders under public_html would have seperate usernames/passwords.

I already created a subdirectory under public_html called test123 but when I try to access the "Password Protect Directories" feature and go to the public_html directory, I don't see any subdirectories. The only option I have is to password protect the whole public_html directory

One thing I found was that by looking at the link

https://$servername:2083/frontend/x/htaccess/index.html?dir=/home/$username/public_html

is that I can add the test123 directory at the end and it lets me in

https://$servername:2083/frontend/x/htaccess/index.html?dir=/home/$username/public_html/test123/

Just wondering why this doesn't show up by default?

We're running

WHM 11.2.0 cPanel 11.8.0-C15669


Thanks,

If you created test123 under ~/public_html/ then it should show up when you click on the folder for public_html. It is abnormal that the subdirectories would not display.
