Hi!I'm facing a problem with apache 1.3.34 in a NFS DocumentRoot with .htaccess.I create the .htacess file nomrally, htpasswd -c .htacess userThen I configure the httpd.conf also correctly, but when I try to test the protected folder, I get a ERROR 500.You may think that I mispeled the config file, but not, when I remove the .htaccess file Apache prompts the Auth window normally.The interesting point is that I created another .htaccess file in the normal local filesystem and changed the httpd.conf file to gets information from that file, and it worked!So I assumed that my problem is with the NFS and .htaccess file... is there a directive or option to fix it?
Do not confuse an htpasswd file with a .htaccess file - they aren't the same. You need to use htpasswd to create the password file and then refer to it from within the httpd.conf or a .htaccess file.
Also, do not store the htpasswd file within the DocumentRoot, otherwise someone may be able to download it!
See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_auth.html and the AuthUserFile directive.
HTH,
Neil.
