Greetings, The following .htaccess file has been working for years under apache 2.0.x to password protect a directory: ------------------------------------------ AuthType Basic AuthName "Password Required" AuthUserFile /www/faith.info/authfile ------------------------------------------ Where the 'authfile' contains one line generated by the htpasswd program: ---------------------------------------- count:gjPCIjHj9gjWQ ---------------------------------------- I just upgraded to apache 2.2.3, and now it no longer works. The message I get in my error log is the following: [Sat Nov 04 14:27:32 2006] [error] [client 172.18.3.15] access to / failed, reason: require directives present and no Authoritative handler. I've googled excessively for an answer, but have found none. I've tried adding "Require valid-user" to the .htpasswd, but that does not help. Any ideas? -- Cheers, László --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
