Hi,I'm new on this list so sorry if I'm OT or something. I'm having trouble getting .htaccess files to function on my server. I'm trying to require a password to view a certain directory with this .htaccess file:
AuthUserFile /full/path/to/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName "Password Protected Area" AuthType Basic <Files> require valid-user myuser </Files>I've done this before so I'm quite sure it's correct. Does one need to enable .htaccess files somewhere in the apache conf file? I don't get an Internal Server Error or something like that, the files just stand unaffected of the .htaccess and are available to all users as normal. I searched for .htaccess and found this in the apache2.conf:
AccessFileName .htaccess <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files> Should that be enough, or is something else needed for .htaccess?I reeeeeeally need to password protected these files soon. So quick answers are really appreciated. Thanks a lot.
