Re: [users@httpd] Realm Protection [Solved]

[Clint Davis <cd...@grayloon.com>]

I figured out the problem with some help from Tenon. Here's their response:

Your website is pointed to
/Library/Tenon/WebServer/WebSites/www.nunn-better.com for document
root. And the Access Control protection area should be defined as
/Library/Tenon/WebServer/WebSites/www.nunn-better.com/5jc19p/files.
This is because Apache isn't smart enough to associate
/Volumes/Data/WebSites/www.nunn-better.com/5jc19p/files with your
document root. They are treated as two different path, and that's why
the realm didn't work. I reconfigured your httpd.conf file with
/Library/Tenon/WebServer/WebSites/www.nunn-better.com/5jc19p/files, and
it works fine now.
