I found the problem, and just to follow-up in case someone else is bit by this -- The problem was that the 'mod_authz_user' module wasn't loaded. On Debian, I had to: "ln -s ../mods-available/authz_user.load" from the mod-enabled directory and restart apache, then things worked fine. Why the Debian package installs apache without enabling this module I have no fracking idea. Ugh. On 11/4/06, Count László de Almásy <calmasy@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
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
