restrict access to a directory

[John WHALE <jw...@tgnetworks.com.au>]

trying to restrict access to one directory on my server. do you know the
syntax of the path to dir when using a netware server. I
have tried sugestions using the path "volume:\dir\dir and
//ipadd/vol/dir/dir  but neither seem to work

the lines i added to my httpd.conf file are as follows:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "FPS SECURE AREA"
AuthUserFile "SYS:\apache\pwords"
require valid-user

any ideas where I am going wrong




With Kind Regards

I don't know how paths are expressed on netware but what you have seems
sensible... However, if your server is working at all, you must have a
DocumentRoot and/or a ServerRoot directive - how do you define the paths
there?

In any case, could you please be more specific about "not working" -
When you try to enter the protected directory do you get 404 not found
or 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden or Internal Server Error or The
Server Is Not Accepting Connections or Timeout or what?

If it one of the error codes then look in the error_log, what does it
say there?

Rgds,

Owen Boyle.
