Creating private section on website

miracleboy · 17 Jan 2008 at 16:28

I am creating a website for work, and we need a section on there just for the team - how can I go about doing this? I've read a little about htaccess etc but I'm new to web design and that just confused me!

Is there anyone who can provide a short guide in laymans terms to getting this setup?

What about putting it under a different port number instead?

So instead of going to:

http://yourintranet

you goto

http://yourintranet:8081

Just a thought.

But I have a TEAM button on the main website navigation bar, so the link would still be accessible by all users. I need something where it either checks a database of users, or people have to log in to see it.

Running a webserver on a different port isn't going to do much good, you need to use something like PHP and a backend database such as MySQL to create a user management system. There are tutorials all over the internet that will tell you how to do it but it does help if you have experiance with a serverside language such as PHP and knowledge of SQL. I think there may be some software that does this for you but I'm not certain, it's normally part of a content management system.
