[users@httpd] .htaccess files
Here are the instructions at the Apache web site for allowing multiple users
to access .htaccess protected pages:
------------------------
If you want to let more than one person in, you'll need to create a group
file that associates group names with a list of users in that group. The
format of this file is pretty simple, and you can create it with your
favorite editor. The contents of the file will look like this:
GroupName: rbowen dpitts sungo rshersey
-------------
These instructions do not indicate the type of file to save as or where to
save the file. Can somebody please help? Thanks

Should you save the group file as 'groups' like you indicated in the
directive AuthGroupFile?

Re: [users@httpd] .htaccess files

I have followed the instructions at the Apache website for using passwords
with .htaccess files which works perfectly for a single user. But when I
append the password file to permit multiple users every password is
rejected. I get the password prompt which indicates "by invitation only",
but the file does not accept any of the passwords, including the original
single user.
Here's my .htaccess file:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "By Invitation Only"
AuthUserFile c:/apache2triad/passwd/passwords
AuthGroupFile c:/apache2triad/passwd/groups
require group GroupName
And here's my list of users, saved as a text file (saved as, GroupName):
GroupName: jazzman axeswinger
Here's my error message:
Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your
request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI
script.
If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 500
localhost
06/18/04 12:32:44
Apache/2.0.49 (Win32) PHP/4.3.6
I'm not pointing the AuthGroupFile directive to a directory through
httpd.conf. Instead, I'm pointing through the .htaccess file.

This is a plain-text file. Use a plain-text editor like emacs/vi/pico on
unix or notepad/edit on windows. The location is wherever you point
the AuthGroupFile directive in httpd.conf.
