The sysadmin at the hosting service that I am using can't figure out why double logins (both must be valid) are required to access a password protected directory that is protected using .htaccess under Apache2.0. This is happening for accounts other than mine. He thinks there exists some 2nd .htaccess (that he cannot find) that is causing the problem. Double logins are required whether i set up the password protection via their web interface, or mannually via the command line. Not sure if the following info will be useful, but here it is ........ If I manually set up the password protection, I must specify true absolute paths such as: /home/virtual/site102/fst/var/www/html/E/.htpasswd as opposed to: /var/www/html/.htpasswd (i do not have read access through the true absolute path) And here is the .htaccess file: AuthUserFile /home/virtual/site102/fst/var/www/html/E/.htpasswd AuthName "mike" AuthType Basic require valid-user (I know it is not a good idea to place the password files in a web accessible location. They are there just to make debugging more convienient) Any tips I can pass on to the sysadmin? tia, mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
