.htaccess setup
I have been trying to setup apache for the use of .htaccess files, with no luck.
I have followd everything on the websites I could find and still nothing could someone tell me what all needs done to the httpd.conf file the .htaccess, .htpasswd and where they actually go and what permisions should be on them including who should the owner of the files be. my .httaccess file AuthUserFile /var/www/html/DIRECTORY/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "Private Page" AuthType Basic <Limit GET POST> require valid-user </Limit> its permission are owned by apache.apache mod - 644 my .htpasswd file owned by apache.apache mod - 600 and the httpd.conf file I made this change AllowOverride none - to - AllowOverride AuthConfig |
Ok, I have it actually asking for the login now, but I can not get it to read the .htpasswd file and allow access
|
using the basic auth with apache (using flat files) has been very unsuccessful for me, if I were you I would use mod_auth_mysql and setup a database with users and groups (easier and faster)
but if you can't for some reason use that... try htpasswd -c .htpasswd htpasswd username password also I wouldn't keep that file in your wwwroot, I would keep it outside (if you can) that directory Dave |
I did move it out of that directory path, the only reason I was going to use the .htaccess. was for the security popup window.

AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/data/test2/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "Test Site" AuthType Basic or AuthType Digest <Limit GET POST> require valid-user </Limit> try that as your .htaccess (change the Userfile path of course) then htpasswd -cd .htaccess [username] or htpasswd -c .htaccess [username] or (for md5 digest) htpasswd -cm .htaccess [username] also make sure that both your .htaccess file and .htpasswd file are given full ownership to your web server account (e.g. chown www:www .ht*) After trying this for a while I was able to get it to work, though, I don't see what I did other than restarting it serveral times. I also enabled mod_auth_digest, but I'm not using it... Any one else want to take this on? Dave |
Thank you for your help
basically, I had to go through the same thing to get it going, and I still am not for sure what I did any differant than before. besides the restarting for everychange i tried. I did activate the same auth mods like you but I am not using them either. |
