[users@httpd] reading .htpasswd file
although configuration in httpd.conf shown below seems ok, and
permissions are set to most permissive on directory and .htpasswd file,
apache cannot open and read file, and thus browser denies access when
username and password are entered in user authentication pop up. problem
persists across browsers, and methods (i.e. <Directory...</Directory>>
vs. .htaccess). Error log confirms that apache cannot open .htpasswd
file created with .htpasswd, despite moving database to diffrent
directories. I have also tried changing users in httpd.conf. Thank
you.

No. AllowOverride applies only to .htaccess files.

No, these settings are valid for the httpd.conf file.
He should not override the directives that he has in httpd.conf file, unless
he's using .htaccess file under that directory, if these settings are being
written into an .htaccess file than they shouldn't be overrided by any other
.htaccess in the directory root from where it's pointing to.
All the best,

A small point, but ... shouldn't that be "AllowOverride AuthConfig" ?

You check AuthUserFile-name. Is it correct?
Also you check permission of ROOT directory.
Apache runs NOBODY user for default setting.
ROOT directory should set the permission +x for other group user.

AuthName nella
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /root/.userpass
Require valid-user
AllowOverride none

Re: [users@httpd] reading .htpasswd file
Posted by Leo Fouseki <lf...@tampabay.rr.com>.
my problem is reading the userpass file that .htpasswd created, so I
considered it a problem with .htapasswd program.
I've already tried with the require valid-user configuration, same
results. I've really tried everything.

Also, why does your subject line say ".htpasswd" but your AuthUserFile is
"/root/.userpass"?
