Use these credentials for authenticate

Solution
The first thing I did was to make a .htpasswd file for the web page.
With the command htpasswd -c /root/.htpasswd mulder
The program in question next asks for a password, which I set as instructed. Next I browsed to the foldercd /etc/apache2/sites-enable/ and opened the file with the editor 000-default.conf.
I then added the following text to the file
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AuthType Basic
AuthName "asd"
AuthUserFile /root/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Directory>.
I then restarted the apache2 service service apache2 restart
I then headed to the website again to see if my configuration was successful. Unfortunately, I had broken the whole web page and decided to move on to another task...
Tools
- htpasswd
- nano
- cd
- service
