[users@httpd] .htaccess setup?
Hi,
I'm running Apache 1.3.20-16 on a RedHat 7.2 server. Trying to
restrict access to a specific web directory but not having any luck and
I'm hoping someone here can tell me where I've gone astray.
In the httpd.conf file I added a section:
<Directory "/var/www/html/bod">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
In the bod directory I created a file called .htaccess containing:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "ECW Restricted Area"
AuthUserFile /var/www/passwords
Requre user linn
Then I created the passwords file mentioned above and added my user
name and password. I then restarted the webserver but it doesn't work.
When I type in the url I get the index page when I think I should be
getting a login dialog box.
Can anyone shed some more light on this subject, tell where I've gone
wrong or what I'm missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Linn

Previous post I sent said .htaccess had to be executable...this is a
wrong statement, sorry. The XBitHack entry though made a difference
with me.

Since your listen doesn't include 127.0.0.1 it won't respond to the local
loopback (http://localhost/). You will have to explicitly hit http://192.168.0.2
or http://linuxfan.dyndns.org if that name resolves correctly to your IP.

Perhaps you meant to stop then start your server (or... restart.)
Perhaps you have another instance installed by your linux distro
that was already runnung.

You don't say, but from the non-FHS compliant location, I'm guessing
this is on a legacy OS? (see URLs below)

Unless there is a pressing need to listen *only* to a given address,
leave this commented out. You don't need it. This may or may not be
the only problem, but is a starting point.

Huh?
Where are you getting this stuff? Those are both unnecessary.
To the original poster: instead of using the .htaccess file, simply place
the auth directives inside the appropriate <directory> section in
httpd.conf. That eliminates one source of problems.

Try using the following setting in httpd.conf under the Directory entry
along with AllowOverride.
XBitHack on
and make sure the .htaccess file is executable.

Subject: [users@httpd] .htaccess setup?
Hi,
I'm running Apache 1.3.20-16 on a RedHat 7.2 server. Trying to restrict
access to a specific web directory but not having any luck and I'm hoping
someone here can tell me where I've gone astray.
In the httpd.conf file I added a section:
<Directory "/var/www/html/bod">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
In the bod directory I created a file called .htaccess containing: AuthType
Basic AuthName "ECW Restricted Area" AuthUserFile /var/www/passwords Requre
user linn
Then I created the passwords file mentioned above and added my user name and
password. I then restarted the webserver but it doesn't work.
When I type in the url I get the index page when I think I should be getting
a login dialog box.
Can anyone shed some more light on this subject, tell where I've gone wrong
or what I'm missing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Linn
