Hi, I cannot see certain directory in my browser after I added the Access Control to it. Please help. I placed my Release directory at DocumentRoot, /apache-httpd/htdocs. There is no index.html at DocumentRoot.I can see the list of directories and files in my browser under Release directory. I followed the instructions, “Authentication, Authorization and Access Control” (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/auth.html) to protect certain directory. My purpose is, users need to enter his/her ID and Password at certain directory when they browse my releases. Below are my configurations. In httpd.conf <Directory "/apache-httpd/htdocs"> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride AuthConfig Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> I want user, customer to enter ID and PW when he/she browse the directory, Release/Eeace. I added .htaccess in the directory Eeace. In /apache-httpd/htdocs/Release/Eeace/.htaccess AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Files" AuthBasicProvider file AuthUserFile /apache-httpd/passwd/passwords Require user customer However, I cannot see the directory Release/Eeace after I restarted the apache. I can see it if I removed the line, Require user customer. But, there is no pop up to ask me to enter ID and PW. Can someone tell me how to fix it? I use apache 2.2.11.
