Finally I'm being asked for a password, but I'm getting "Authorization failed, retry?"
errors.
Any ideas why? I'm using htpasswd, read several examples and the man page, it's so
simple it's hard to mess up. Permissions and directives are as follows:
[root@csc003 RedHatUpdates]# ls -l /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34087 Sep 20 12:05 /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *IP_addresss_here*>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /Webhomes/Vanguard_mailer
ErrorLog logs/VanguardMailer-error_log
CustomLog logs/VanguardMailer-access_log common
<Directory /Webhomes/Vanguard_mailer>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
[root@csc003 RedHatUpdates]# ls -l /Webhomes/Vanguard_mailer/.htaccess
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin users 128 Sep 20 11:33
/Webhomes/Vanguard_mailer/.htaccess
[root@csc003 RedHatUpdates]# cat /Webhomes/Vanguard_mailer/.htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthName "By Invitation Only"
AuthUserFile /work/htpasswd.vanguard
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require user *username_here*
[root@csc003 RedHatUpdates]# ls -l /work/htpasswd.vanguard
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin users 23 Sep 20 12:08 /work/htpasswd.vanguard
(which contains the username and some encrypted version of the password)
Do any of those look wrong? Why else would Authorization fail? (note: it's not because
I'm typing the wrong password ;-)
Thanks,
JW
