多个网站/目录的Apache htpasswd？

Question

I'm not 100% familiar how htpasswd works, but i'm wondering if it is possible.

I have one server with one IP and multiple domains there. I need to password protect all of those domains but if possible only at one place. I don't want to go around and make htpasswd for each website.

Assuming that i have all websites places under /var/www/{vhost dirs}

Is it possible at all and how and how?

Answer 1

Multiple domain on single IP is possible from virtual host configuration in apache.

 E.g I am running few domains on single machine :
   www.internationalworkersday.com
   www.internationallabourday.com
   www.internationlaborday.com
   www.internationalworkersday.org
   www.apnok.com

#Here is virtual host configuration in httpd.conf


# VirtualHost example:
# Almost any Apache directive may go into a VirtualHost container.
# The first VirtualHost section is used for requests without a known
# server name.
