[users@httpd] Apache24 - Can't get .htaccess to work

[Jos Chrispijn <ap...@cloudzeeland.nl>]

[apache24-2.4.34]

For some reason I can't get .htaccess to work.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong here? Let me share some settings:

# Active ------------------------------------------------------------------

<Directory />
  AllowOverride none
  Require all denied
</Directory>

# Specific setting for my website (2)
<Directory /usr/home/user/mywebsite>
  AllowOverride all
  Require all granted
</Directory>

I created a password for a valid user of who's credentials are saved in 
the AuthUserFile below

The content of the .htaccess file @ (3)
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Password Protected"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /usr/home/user/.htpasswd
AuthName secure
<RequireAll>
   Require valid-user
</RequireAll>
</Files>

What I only can think of is that the .htaccess file (3) or the .htpasswd 
file does not have the correct owner and/or permissions.
Which user and group should the .htaccess belong to? I now set it to 
user:www
File security is set to 640

The .htpasswd file is set to user:user

Even when I hash out (1) and restart Apache 2.4, I still don't get the 
authorisation screen to provide a password, which I think means that 
.htaccess is not interpreted.

Thanks for your help,
Jos

Found a solution for the issue:

- Watch the forward slash at the end of the line (a)
- Added this new line (b)

a <Directory /usr/home/user/mywebsite/>
b   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
     AllowOverride all
     Require all granted
  </Directory>

Sometimes the solution is so obvious that you overlook it.

Thanks, Jos

The last line should not be in it, sorry.
