RE: [users@httpd] htaccess help

Plain text please...

Couple of possibilities:

- you have a wrong username/password: If you get it wrong the browser will pop up the window again ad infinitum. Check carefully and remember case is important (in fact, create a new account in the password file with user=aaa and password=aaa - all lower-case so you don't make any mistakes).

- you are nesting authentication realms: You can only have one layer of authentication in HTTP. So if you have a password on dir1, you can't have another password on dir1/subdir. Check you're not doing this.

BTW, as well as posting in plain text, it's useful if you tell us your apache version and OS, at least.

Rgds,

Hey everyone
I have problem with htaccess. The problem is that i put htaccess in one of my dirs on the server and when i request that dir it pops authentication window which i intendet to have but then when i type user and passw it keeps on poping authentication window. I know it does ask me for user and passwd for every single thing its loading but how can i configure it so that it asks me once for that dir and thats it and loads up everything in that dir ???

Re: [users@httpd] htaccess help

[Michael <Mi...@bio-world.com>]

The apache ver i have is Apache 2.0.40 runing on Red Hat 9.2.
I wasnt clear enough my bad. I type in the address of the folder i want to 
protect in the browser. Then the wuthentication window pops up. I enter the 
user and passwd info hit OK and more than half of the page loads up and 
authentication window pops up again. So, I enter the user&passwd again and 
then the rest of the page loads up. I set in httpd.conf for the web root dir 
AllowOverride all and this is my .htaccess:
AuthUserFile /var/www/passwd/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName EnterPassword
AuthType Basic
require user aaa
