| Hello All,
I am having some problems trying to password protect my apache web
server.
I have apache 1.3 installed in /opt/csw/apache. Here is my .htaccess
file
which is in /opt/csw/apache/htdocs and it contains:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /export/home/root/password_file
Require valid-user
Here is my /export/home/root/password_file:
User01:1FGfJcPdnWAXV
Both files are owned by the same user the apache web server, and are
executeable.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks,

Meaning of "problems" ? Do you get a password prompt? You DO NOT get
a password prompt? The password is not recognized?

I wish I had one, but my crystal ball is out of order...

First thing that came to my mind is that you miss the 'AllowOverride'
bit in httpd.conf, so the htaccess file isn't looked at at all. Second
think is that the password file is not found or can't be read. Check the
error_log file for that.

But you did set it now to AuthConfig?
BTW: Why are you using a .htaccess file here and not a <directory...>
section in httpd.conf?

| Yes i set it to AuthConfig and it works. I never considered using the
<directory> method.
I'll check it out. Thanks for the info...
