Hi. This is the kind of authentication param I'm using: <Directory /home/jsosic/www/admin> AllowOverride None AuthType Basic AuthName "Admin" AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/myauthfile Require valid-user </Directory> I've disabled all the auth modules except these two: authn_file_module (shared) authz_host_module (shared) Now, when I run: apachectl -t It says Syntax OK. But, in error log I can see: [Sat Mar 20 08:12:09 2010] [crit] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] configuration error: couldn't check user. No user file?: /admin/xxx So obviously I'm missing some modules... Is it the basic module or the user module? And how can I test this, if I currently don't have access to the web (only ssh), and syntax check is obviously not telling me some modules are missing.... :-/ -- | Jakov Sosic | ICQ: 28410271 | PGP: 0x965CAE2D | ================================================================= | start fighting cancer -> http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
