[TYPO3] How to stop FE access

[Christian Vetter]

Hi Stan,
You wouldn't be messing up .htaccess - the simple piece of code I sent is  
stable and it's absolutely necessary  for realurl to work. The only other  
way to achieve the same is to edit the server wide configuration - and I  
guess that you both don't want to and cannot edit it. You do not need the  
htaccess file delivered with typo3, just put the piece of code into a  
plain text file and name the file '.htaccess'.
Apart from that, why did you put your typo3 site into your document root ?  
I suggest you put it into a subdirectory and then password protect it. I  
guess you have a managed server or just some web space on one of those  
mass servers - in that case you should be able to comfortably do the  
protection setup via a web interface. Then, after you tested everything  
and it's up and running as you wish you can put the whole stuff back into  
the document root and replace your current site with it.

I hope this helps,
Christian
