Thanks for the reply. Here is what is there now. .htaccess --------- <IfModule mod_setenvif.c> <IfDefine SSL> SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \ nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \ downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 </IfDefine> </IfModule> This was in the file and is the only uncommented text. I am not using SSL. Iremoved everything else per your suggestion. htppd.conf ---------- Alias /o E:/ApacheGroup/Apache2/d/c/a <Directory /o> AuthType Basic AuthName O Require valid-users AllowOverride AuthConfig Options AuthUserFile E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\auth.dbm Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> I created the id/password with htdbm and restarted Apache. It still does not work. What next?
