I have a new drupal installation in /mydrupal/ subdirectory,
say http://www.example.com/mydrupal
and I have a folder /oldpages/ which I put inside /mydrupal/ folder
how can i password-protect everything inside /oldpages/ based on
the list of username of drupal database? (hopefully it can be dynamic)
so everytime a new user creates an account then they can directly
login to /oldpages/
the reason i need this is because
I want to prevent people to type http://www.example.com/mydrupal/oldpages/
directly as they can do it at the moment.

please advice friends.

thanks,
tlie

If you use apache web server, it has got a auth_mysql module. Whit this module you can use .htaccess to protect your oldpages folder.
