during staging devs, I want to protect the access to the site

I wrote the folwoing into an .htaccess file in my public directory

# Access control policy AuthType Basic AuthName "AelmatRepository" AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_aelmat.passwd Require valid-user

works fine... BUT there is no access to the css and images... !!!

I belive I should add sometbing in my environment ? but what ?

thanks for your help

You're probably better off asking this in an Apache forum.

well.. these are the standards for Apache... the problem is rather with Rails deployment and Passenger I guess ?
