[users@httpd] apache .htaccess in NFS
Hi!
I'm facing a problem with apache 1.3.34 in a NFS DocumentRoot with
.htaccess.
I create the .htacess file nomrally, htpasswd -c .htacess user
Then I configure the httpd.conf also correctly, but when I try to test
the protected folder, I get a ERROR 500.
You may think that I mispeled the config file, but not, when I remove
the .htaccess file Apache prompts the Auth window normally.
The interesting point is that I created another .htaccess file in the
normal local filesystem and changed the httpd.conf file to gets
information from that file, and it worked!
So I assumed that my problem is with the NFS and .htaccess file... is
there a directive or option to fix it?
Thanks for the help!!

Do not confuse an htpasswd file with a .htaccess file - they aren't the
same. You need to use htpasswd to create the password file and then
refer to it from within the httpd.conf or a .htaccess file.
Also, do not store the htpasswd file within the DocumentRoot, otherwise
someone may be able to download it!
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_auth.html and the
AuthUserFile directive.
HTH,
Neil.
