To be sure, recreate the password file with the PW on the command line:# htpasswd -b -c /path/to/.pwFile username pwd To get it going, choose a *really* simple password, like "x".. Rgds, Owen BoyleYeah I had thought of that and tried that a few times. Never the less --- it is the same results. It is really perplexing.... driving me quite insane. I have done these things a million times and could not see what the issue could be. There are other files and such working just fine on this box - so I am quite positive that the machine is fine.d ---------------------------------------------------------------------The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/userslist.html> for more info.
