Re: [users@httpd] Basic Authentication not working in Gentoo Linux

["Manilal K M" <libregeek@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried with a fresh new Directory tag within the DocumentRoot.
The follwoing configuration  was added
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/manilal>
        Options FollowSymLinks
         Options +ExecCGI
         AuthName "E-mail login:"
        AuthType Basic
          AuthUserFile /usr/local/bp/htpasswd
         Require user manilal
</Directory>

and I accessed it with http://192.168.101.39/manilal
Now the browser asks for authentication and it successfully
authenticates. So I hope there is nothing wrong with Apache. May be
the VH directive is doing the damage. Any thoughts on this behaviour?

regards
Manilal
