Hello Matthew,I'm guessing that the confusion is the difference between <Directory> and <Location> blocks. Directory blocks reference the filesystem, location blocks are relative to the docroot and can be virtual.

Hello,I'm having a terrible time configuring something that is pretty basic with apache and I'm not sure what I'm missing. I have a new apache 2.0.55 install (on redhat 3.0) with mod_auth built in (the default). I am trying to put some basic authentication on some directories off of the the docroot, but no matter what I do, I don't get the authentication challenge when accessing the directory. Here's my httpd.conf virtual host: <VirtualHost 10.3.82.190:80>ServerAdmin mmchugh@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:mmchugh@xxxxxxxxx> DocumentRoot /u01/webpages/sparky ServerName sparky.arrowinternet.com ErrorLog /u01/logs/sparky.arrrowinternet.com-error.log CustomLog /u01/logs/sparky.arrrowinternet.com-access.log combined <Directory /blah > AuthType Basic AuthName "Sparky Realm" AuthUserFile /u01/app/apache2055/users Options Indexes Require valid-user </Directory> </VirtualHost>I've already created the user/password file with htpasswd. I am not using .htaccess files (I don't think this is necessary) since the documentation states I can either edit the httpd.conf file, or put the settings within an .htaccess file. I'm not sure what I'm missing here. I know it must be something very basic, but I'm just missing it. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks, Matt
