Hello- Trying to setup basic authentication. Using the following in my httpd.conf file: <Location /svn> #how to authenticate a user AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Files" AuthUserFile /etc/site-passwd #Only authenticated users may have access Require valid-user brownec </Location> Here are the modules I have: LoadModule access_module modules/mod_access.so LoadModule auth_module modules/mod_auth.so LoadModule auth_anon_module modules/mod_auth_anon.so LoadModule auth_dbm_module modules/mod_auth_dbm.so LoadModule auth_digest_module modules/mod_auth_digest.so LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so LoadModule mime_module modules/mod_mime.so LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so LoadModule status_module modules/mod_status.so LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so=20 The authentication window pops up OK, but I can't get in, and I get the following lines in my error log: error: unknown require directive valid-user error: user brownec does not have access - valid-user is a valid directive, and I have the right module to use it. - my name is entered in the /etc/site-passwd file (used the htpasswd comman= d) Still getting the same error after a few server restarts. Can't seem to get around this one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
