I'm running apache 1.3.28 which serves the outside (Internet) network and an Intranet (through address 192.168.1.x) To the outside server I'm using .htaccess password protected pages while I would like to open the pages to the Intranet. At the end of httpd.conf I have this: # <VirtualHost 192.168.1.116:80> ServerAlias foruminternal.mysite.net ServerAdmin info@xxxxxxxxx <Directory "/usr/local/www/data"> Options -Indexes -FollowSymlinks order allow,deny Allow from 192.168.1. AllowOverride None </Directory> Outside of this VirtualHost section I have the Webserver to the Internet defined as follows: -------------------------- excerpt of httpd.conf ---------------------------- # machine always knows itself by this address. If you use Apache strictly for # local testing and development, you may use 127.0.0.1 as the server name. # ServerName forum.mysite.de # # DocumentRoot: The directory out of which you will serve your # documents. By default, all requests are taken from this directory, but # symbolic links and aliases may be used to point to other locations. # DocumentRoot "/usr/local/www/data" # # Each directory to which Apache has access, can be configured with respect # to which services and features are allowed and/or disabled in that # directory (and its subdirectories). # # First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of # permissions. # <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> # # Note that from this point forward you must specifically allow # particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as # you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it # below. # # # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. #<Directory "/usr/local/www/data"> # # This may also be "None", "All", or any combination of "Indexes", # "Includes", "FollowSymLinks", "ExecCGI", or "MultiViews". # # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All" # doesn't give it to you. # Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews # # This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can # override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo", # "AuthConfig", and "Limit" # # AllowOverride None AllowOverride All # # Controls who can get stuff from this server. # Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> ----------------------- End of httpd.conf excerpt -------- Can anyone lead me to the solution?
