Hi, I'm trying to protect a directory, something I've done countless times before. Now, instead of appearing the dialog with the login and password boxes, I get a 404 !!! Here's my files: .htaccess: AuthType Basic AuthName imgs AuthUserFile /home/absinto/public_html/imgs/.htpasswd require valid-user .htpasswd: imgs:6TFsHlTQhms6Q Would you be so kind to try: http://www.absinto.org/imgs/ or http://www.absinto.org/imgs/firefox.png The login and the password are both "imgs" (without the quotes). This boggles me! As a last note, I have no access to the Apache configuration file. Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, Mário Gamito
Judging by the fact that loading the URL http://www.absinto.org/imgs/firefox.png gives an HTML page as opposed to an image or Apache 404 error page, I would assume you are using mod_rewrite somewhere (perhaps Wordpress does this)? A custom 404 error page would also explain this, but since pulling the URL http://www.absinto.org/imgs/ also gives the 404 error, I wouldn't think that is the case. I would look at the rewrite rules first if the file /imgs/firefox.png really does exist on the server. As long as mod_rewrite is altering the URL in some way unexpected, you're still going to have weird anomalies.
Also, in what directory is the .htaccess file located? It is inside of a <Directory> container?
