[users@httpd] Authentication problem
hello,
i try to use authentication for certain directories.
I want to authenticate /var/www/html directory.
<Directory "/var/www/html">
AllowOverride Authconfig
</Directory>
placed the password file 'users' in ServerRoot dir
created by htpasswd -cm users username1
placed the .htaccess file in /var/www/html with
contents
AuthName "restricted stuff"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/users
require user username1
I get the login window when i try to access the
directory. when i give the valid username and password
it rejects me. what could be the problem
Thank you
tirumal

Hi,
What are the permission for " password file 'users' " ?
Is '/var/www/html' the DucomentRoot of the www-server too?
Additionaly (to what you discribed below) I made an Alias in httpd.conf
like
'alias restrited_stuff /var/www/html'
I did the same job with success by following the
information here :
http://www.apacheweek.com/features/userauth
Hope it helps
Frank

Check permissions on the users file. You most likely created it as root,
but the Apache daemon doesn't have root privs...
