title: XAMPP and .htaccess authentication on Windows 2008 R2 - Missing AccessFileName
body: <p>I have XAMPP successfully installed and running on my Windows 2008 R2 server. Apache is running fine. I would like to password protect a specific directory using Apache basic authentication. I have looked at various articles covering .htaccess when using XAMPP but they mention a directive that is missing in my <code>httpd.conf</code> file.</p>
  
  <p><code>AccessFileName</code></p>
  
  <p>If this entry is not present in the <code>httpd.conf</code> file should I just go ahead and add it?</p>
  
  <p>Here is some other info regarding my setup:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>mod-rewrite is enabled - <code>LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so</code></li>
  <li>IIS is NOT enabled</li>
  </ol>
