Hi I'm trying to set up a site under my main site with auth, but can get it working. What I have done is: htpasswd -c /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords username
Okay
chown root.nogroup /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords
I create the file as root and leave it's ownership status alone.
chmod 640 /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords
I also don't chmod any differently then the default.
I have also tried with the password file named .htpasswd, but the result is the same.
I don't use .htaccess as it causes apache to take a performance hit (read the apache manual for more about that)
and for the access file: AuthType Basic AuthName "By Invitation Only" AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords Require user username
<Directory "/www/mc-luug/cgi-bin/awstats/"> AuthType Basic AuthName "AW Stats" AuthUserFile /etc/apache/passwords/awstats Require valid-user </Directory>
Works consistantly.
I have almost the same config for users home dir, and thats working fine. The only difference is that I use "Require valid-user" insted of the config above.
Can anyone pls help?
Trash the pw file, create a new one, leave it alone, then just use Require valid-user
If need be, keep a seperate pw file for the "By invite Only" and your other protected dir.
I'm running debain 2.4.20 and apache 1.3.27-0.1
