Firstly, be sure that the module is actually enabled. As far as specific directives are concerned, here's how I do it; I add these directives to my primary Apache configuration file: <IfModule mod_info.c> <Location /server-info> Order allow,deny Allow from all SetHandler server-info SSLOptions +StrictRequire SSLRequireSSL SSLRequire %{HTTP_HOST} eq "example.com" AuthType Basic AuthName "Authorization Required" AuthBasicProvider dbm AuthDBMType DB AuthDBMUserFile "/var/www/apache-users" AuthDBMGroupFile "/var/www/apache-users" require group programmers </Location> </IfModule> Tailor to suit your specific requirements. If you're using Apache 2.4, you will need to change the first two lines inside the <Location> block, as 2.4 uses a different syntax.
