Hi again.

Issue NOT resolved yet... (sigh)

Well - I thought it works,  but (sigh) it don't work.

I can get to the site via the URL, and indeed apache asks for the username
and password,  but it rejects it, and won't let me on the site....

Here is what I did...

htpasswd -c /var/www/conf/auth/passwd edp
< I set the password here >

chown root.nogroup /var/www/conf/auth/passwd
chmod 640 /var/www/conf/auth/passwd


Setting the Config to use this file
-----------------------------------

<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin/secure">
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "Password Required"
      AuthUserFile /var/www/conf/auth/passwd
      Require valid-user
</Directory>

But the Apache rejects my password. I tried it several times, same thing, rejection.

Is there anything I overlooked?  Why would it reject my password....

I would use this URL when accessing the site...

http://<MYIP>/cgi-bin/secure/sm.py

The browser would prompt me for a username,  I typed in "edp"
and the same password I used above...

The password prompt just comes back,  asking for the password again.
Why is it rejecting access?

John
