User Authentication with Apache

[iamsolidsnk]

I recently installed apache, and would like to serve a few files just for my wife and I if we are ever out-of-town. The server works fine, however I am a little confused about how to add authentication to apache.

Upon entering my domain name, i would like a popup authentication box to appear asking for username and pass. I tried to look at the apache docs for version 2.2, but the module "mod_auth_basic" wasnt available through emerge.

Can anyone tell me the way to accomplish this?

You should look into this tutorial

And if you're not sure what modules are installed, just check phpinfo() (if php is installed) ...
