Yes, I did read the docs and used an example that I found. That is how I got as far as I did. Unfortunately, I read the AuthType docs not AuthDBMType docs. That is one of the areas that I did wrong. My apologies that I do not spell as great as you and that I am not as observant as you. HOWEVER, it still does not work! Alias /oscadmin E:/ApacheGroup/Apache2/d/c/a <Directory /o> AuthType Basic AuthDBMType DB AuthName O Require valid-user AllowOverride AuthConfig Options AuthDBMUserFile E:\ApacheGroup\Apache2\a\auth.dbm.dir Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> I've read both docs and always restart Apache when I make changes before trying it with the changes. I noticed that Apache attaches .dir to the end of the database name and I tried the file path with and without that extension. (The docs do not specify what to use.) I usually use FireFox so I tried with IE6 to be sure it was not a FireFox issue. (Docs say something about browsers reading the string under compatibility notes.) Neither work. I imagine it is something small and simple and I am going to kick myself for it. I double-checked the loadmodule statement and it looks right. LoadModule auth_dbm_module modules/mod_auth_dbm.so Like I said (below) everything I put in the .htaccess file I removed. It is only in the httpd.conf file. What should I check next?
