Hi, I either have the strangest issue or else I've made a blindingly obvious error.
I'm trying to protect a directory using Apache2::AuthCookieDBI using the following .htaccess (I have to use htaccess) -------------------- PerlModule Apache2::AuthCookieDBI PerlSetVar berlinPath /berlin/ PerlSetVar berlinLoginScript /login.pl PerlSetVar berlinSessionTimeout +2h PerlSetVar berlinDBI_DSN "DBI:mysql:database=berlin" PerlSetVar berlinDBI_SecretKey "secret" # DBI access stuff... PerlSetVar berlinDBI_User "user" ... etc ... # Protected by AuthCookieDBI. AuthType Apache2::AuthCookieDBI AuthName berlin PerlAuthenHandler Apache2::AuthCookieDBI->authenticate PerlAuthzHandler Apache2::AuthCookieDBI->authorize require valid-user # Login location. <Files LOGIN> AuthType Apache2::AuthCookieDBI AuthName berlin SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Apache2::AuthCookieDBI->login </Files> -------------------- When I go to my protected URL www.myserver.com/berlin/ I am presented with the login form which I've added some status variables to, the status is that there is no cookie present, which is to be expected since nothing has been set yet. Once I send authentication variables I am still not logged in and I'm given a new URL www.myserver.com/berlin/LOGIN which is still expected behaviour, but the status variable is still "no cookie" which means no cookie is being set. This makes me suspect that I am just dumb and doing something super-basic wrong, but I can't figure it out. Ultimately I just need to protect the *.pl files in that directory and if I wrap the Auth section in: <Files ~ "\.(pl)$"> </Files? then calls to www.myserver.com/berlin/index.pl are challenged and actually the authentication works fine, BUT then the index isn't protected: www.myserver.com/berlin/ leaving me to wonder how on earth to protect the index. I didn't want to ask anyone because this seems like such a trivial and n00b issue but for the life of me I can't figure it out. So I'd be really happy with one of two solutions, either how to protect the index, even just cause it to redirect to index.pl, or some deeper help with the htaccess file above. Thanks to everyone!
