Hello, I've got a site I'm trying to protect with a .htaccess file. In the .htaccess file, I've got this: AuthUserFile /home/cleveland/passwords/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "phpMyAdmin for Mystique" AuthType Basic <Limit GET> require valid-user </Limit> With this as permissions: -rwxr--r-- 1 cleveland apache 164 Aug 19 11:28 .htaccess I created a .htpasswd file in the directory /home/cleveland/passwords with this as permissions: -rwxr--r-- 1 cleveland apache 24 Aug 19 11:27 .htpasswd When I go to that directory that's protected, I do get a password box, but it won't accept my name and password. In my error_log, there's this: [error] [client 172.30.2.145] (13)Permission denied: Could not open password file: /home/cleveland/passwords/.htpasswd Any ideas what may be wrong? I thought both files had the right permissions. I even tried chmod'ing both files to 777 and it didn't work. -- Jody Cleveland Computer Support Specialist cleveland@xxxxxxxxxxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
