[resolved] It's Magic requesting a password when saving a post (5 posts)

    What happened?
    I can log on as admin as normal.
    I can create a new post and save it just fine... one time.
    The first time works okay, but if I edit it and try to save the second time I get a pop up requesting a password with this message:

    The server http://www.kasdorf.name at Magic requires a username and password.

    Warning: This server is requesting that your username and password be sent in an insecure manner (basic authentication without a secure connection).

    If I click cancel or X the window it dumps me out of WordPress. I can go back in, log on, and open the post again, edit it, but cannot save it.... have I been hijacked, or did I do something stupid?

    Any ideas greatly apprecicate.

    This doesn't sound like a wordpress problem but one that has to do with your server configuration probably set by your hosting company.

    Sounds like a well-known hack to me.

    Thanks for the tip and link to other page. I replaced the Var file as shown in the other post and I am back in business now!
