[users@httpd] .htaccess does not work
Hello, My goal is to password protect a few pages in one of the userdir
(/home/users/vinda). And, I cannot get this to work. Any suggestions will be
welcomed! Below is the configuration in my httpd.conf file:
<Directory /home/*/*/public_html>
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks IncludesNoExec
Options +ExecCGI
DirectoryIndex index.html index.php index.htm
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Allow from all
Order allow,deny
AddType text/html .html
AddOutputFilter INCLUDES .html
</Directory>
I placed .htaccess in (/home/users/vinda/public_html/labs) because this is
the directory I want to protect.
Below are the contents of .htaccess and it has the .passwd file generated by
htpasswd apache command.
AuthUserFile /www/home/users/vinda/labs/.htpasswd
AuthName "Members Only"
AuthType Basic
require user lab
When I call the page with http://hostname/~vinda/labs, I get the box to
enter the username and password but then I can never pass this. The error in
the eerror log is:
[debug] mod_auth_pgsql.c(774): [client 10.105.9.103] [mod_auth_pgsql.c] -
missing configuration parameters
[Thu Sep 10 10:35:32 2009] [error] [client 10.105.9.103] access to
/~vinda/labs failed, reason: verification of user id 'lab' not configured
Please advise. Am I missing any configuration?
Thanks much:)

In this business there is _no_ "small typo"

I figured out the small typo in the path. Thanks for reading my request and
suggestions.

A few thoughts: might need to put the .htaccess file that password
protects all the contents of a directory _outside_ of that directory,
since that file is required to determine where the authorized users
data is stored, and you currently can't access it until you _are_ one
of those authorized users...
Also, really not a big deal but.. your subject implied that .htaccess
is broken. Chances are quite good that it's simply your understanding
of .htaccess which is flawed; everyone on this list is here because
they're happy to try to help but it might be nice to approach the
problem with the attitude "I would really appreciate some help
figuring your awesome free software out" rather than "Fix your shit".

And where does that come from ?
Hint : mod_auth_pgsql.c ?
