php im not sure if you know anything about apache but that doesn't matter basicly what im trying to do is setup a batch file to run a password directory protection agent in apache and then edit the apache httpd.conf to add the req fields to password protect a directory

@echo off

CLS

SET /P UserName=UserName:

SET /P Folder=Path:

GOTO FOLDERCREATION

:FOLDERCREATION

ECHO Creating Folder....

SLEEP 3

MKDIR %Folder%

GOTO PASS

:PASS

htpasswd.exe -c ..passwords%UserName% %UserName%

GOTO EDITCONF

:EDITCONF:

ECHO Editing httpd.conf ....

SLEEP 5

ECHO. >> ..confhttpd2.conf

ECHO <Directory "D:/Website/Apache/htdocs/%Folder%"> >> ..confhttpd2.conf

ECHO AuthType Basic >> ..confhttpd2.conf

ECHO AuthName "Restricted Files" >> ..confhttpd2.conf

ECHO AuthUserFile passwords%UserName% >> ..confhttpd2.conf

ECHO Require user %UserName% >> ..confhttpd2.conf

ECHO Options Indexes FollowSymLinks +Includes ExecCGI >> ..confhttpd2.conf

ECHO AllowOverride All >> ..confhttpd2.conf

ECHO Order allow,deny >> ..confhttpd2.conf

ECHO Allow from all >> ..confhttpd2.conf

ECHO </Directory> >> ..confhttpd2.conf

GOTO STOPSTART

:STOPSTART

%cd%/Apache.exe -k stop -n "Apache2"

%cd%/Apache.exe -k start -n "Apache2"

pause

basicly what happens is once it gets to editing the httpd.conf the window disapears and nothing is added the the http.conf any help here would be great

[php]

I'll test it out on my server and get back to you in a few...

k ty

NOTE: dont test it on a main httpd.conf it could wipe it out lol i lost one earlier good thing i had a backup

[php]

lol good to know

[php]

I know the problems... now I'm trying to fix them...

[TriRan]

ya i had a couple suspicions myself but thanks for the help

[php]

Currently I don't think there's any way to make it work

< and > can't be used in the echo command.  although you can echo a file with them in it, the variables don't get processed.  maybe this could be made with a PHP script?  I've never tried something like that...
