If it didn't match, wouldn't httpd -t kick it back as a mismatch? I had that problem at first when I forgot to create the log directory for the private area. There are two separate areas, one public, one private. The public one, which I didn't show, works fine. The private one, which is the one I did show, does not ask for the password in .htpasswd. >On Sun, Feb 1, 2015 at 2:15 PM, Steve Matzura <number6@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> On Sun, 1 Feb 2015 12:25:52 -0500, you wrote: >> >>>Sounds like Satisfy has been set to "Any" somewhere previously.
