Strange things or is it just me because I dont know better?

[Wolfseye]

Hi,

i use Piwik today for the first time. Installed it from my Webhoster on a Subdomain. To secure it better, I added a .htaccess protection for the subdomain / the folder where piwik is installed.

Now the strange thing. A short time ago, I was on my main page (which is the one Piwik is supposed to watch), on the main domain, and it asked for that login of the .htaccess. Why is that ? That .htaccess is on the Subdomain, why is it asking me for that on the main domain ?

I am sure, there is a simple explonation for that, and I probably dont know because I am new to Piwik. But if someone could help me please, to change that ? Possibly without the need to remove the .htaccess protection from the Piwik install on the Subdomain.

Thanks in advance.

Merkwürdiges Verhalten, oder bin ich das nur?

Hallo, hier liegt das Problem. der piwik tracking code muss die Daten ja an piwik senden, weshalb der Besucher die piwik subdomain erreichen muss. Auch der tracking code selbst wird ja von dort geladen.
