[users@httpd] Directory Access Permissions?

["Peters, Michael D." <Mi...@acbl.net>]

I am trying to set up access permissions to a restricted directory within my
web directory structure. This is Apache 2.0.47. The first <Directory />
shown is the default. I added the second <Directory
/opt/portalroot/alliance/documents> directive. I created the user password
file already. When I browse to the document directory, I just get the
"Forbidden" message.
 
#
<Directory />
    Options FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>
#

#
<Directory /opt/portalroot/alliance/documents>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/passwd/passwords
Require user someusername
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
#

 
What am I doing wrong? I would certainly appreciate some assistance.

Best regards,

Michael D. Peters

What does the error log say?  Does it work if you remove the auth
directives?
