[users@httpd] Problems with htpasswd confused with other sites
Server is running RedHat 9.0 with Apache-1.3.33 from source not RPM.
Problem I am having though now is :
I have many websites on this server.
And for the most part the perform as expected, but one of the sites (let's call it www.securedA.ws) needs to be protected at the root level main webpage, so I am using .htaccess/htpasswd to protect it.
But for some reason it doesn't matter if I am leaving THAT site (www.securedA.ws) or not, I get prompted for a username and passwd on another site which is also being hosted on this same server. It is ONLY one site that I am entering that I have a problem with this issue. More to the point... it prompts me for the username/passwd based on the "Realm" from www.securedA.ws. But if I go to ANY other sites, no problems.
I can tell you that I did discover a .htaccess file in that other site's (www.notreallysecured.biz) root-level directory for it's web page but there is NO Directory container/Directive (as I like to call them), established in the httpd.conf file. I had this problem on a webserver I run at home to and I never fixed it. Never figured it out.
Also, there is NO passwd file associated with the .htaccess file for the second site, so I am really confused as to WHY I am being prompted for a username and passwd from another site, even when I enter the username/passwd ..... it dumps me in to the site www.securedA.ws
This really isn't making any sense.
Can you help me? I am sending this same email to the Users list too.
Thanks in advance.

Re: [users@httpd] Problems with htpasswd confused with other sites
Posted by Ralf Glauberman <rg...@michaeli-gymnasium.de>.
are you using namebased or ipbased virtual hosts?
try to access the page you are having problems with with telnet, i.e. telnet
webserver 80 and enter the following:
GET / HTTP/1.1<RETURN>
Host: www.notreallysecured.biz<RETURN>
<RETURN>
post the output here.
