2) looking at the wrong config file;Lets go back to what Nick asked you. Your answer to him was ambiguous. When you put some random garbage in the config file (like a directive FooBar that doesn't exist) and restarted the server, did you or did you not receive an error message saying that there was a syntax error. If not, you are not editting the correct config file.
OK - I didn't get enough time to go back to square one but I stuck some garbage back into /etc/apache2/conf.d/basic_auth.conf as follows ...
<Directory /svr/www/htdocs/auth/mcfs>
Deny from all
AuthType Basic
AuthName "MCFS Academics"
AuthUserFile /svr/www/data/pwl/academics/memb
Require valid-user
FooBar Nonsense
</Directory>
... and then tried ...
# /usr/sbin/apache2ctl configtest
Syntax error on line 7 of /etc/apache2/conf.d/basic_auth.conf:
Invalid command 'FooBar', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not
included in the server configuration
# Does apache2ctl confirm that httpd actually reads that file on startup? Mike
