Hi Loren, thanks for the help on the last post. It worked perfectly but now
the start.cgi will not take my password. How do I reset that?

Thanks,

-Ray

It's not necessarily a problem with your password as much as the path to the
password file contained in the .htaccess file.

Apache webservers are normally configured to check in the directory to see if
there is a .htaccess file which can determine some special characteristics of
the directory, one of them being authentication. In the case of authentication,
it then refers to a file that contains the actual usernames and encrypted
passwords, in this case a file called .htpasswd in the same directory. Since
you have changed directory paths you probably need to edit the path to the
..htpasswd file in the .htaccess file and make sure the .htpasswd file is still
in the cgi-bin/ss/ directory, too.
