Server version: Apache/2.2.16 (Unix) - running on Ubuntu 10.04I am trying to protect a directory using basic authentication and the user is being continuously prompted for the password but it is never accepted - Apache logs message similar to below:-
[Tue Aug 24 11:23:14 2010] [error] [client xx.xx.xx.xx] user username: authentication failure for "/path/to/script.php": Password Mismatch, referer: http://www.example.com/path/to/index.php
.htaccess directives are below:- AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd AuthType Basic AuthName "Restricted Area" Require valid-user These are the checks I have done:-1) Ensured the password is correctly stored in /path/to/.htpasswd (tried with both crypt and MD5 encryption)
2) Both .htaccess and .htpasswd have read perms for the web process (files owned by root with -rw-r-r- permissions)
3) All directories above the location of the .htpasswd and .htaccess files have 755 permissions i.e. drwxr-x-rx
4) This is the list of modules loaded by Apache:- Loaded Modules: core_module (static) authn_file_module (static) authn_default_module (static) authz_host_module (static) authz_groupfile_module (static) authz_user_module (static) authz_default_module (static) auth_basic_module (static) include_module (static) filter_module (static) deflate_module (static) log_config_module (static) env_module (static) setenvif_module (static) version_module (static) mpm_prefork_module (static) http_module (static) mime_module (static) status_module (static) autoindex_module (static) asis_module (static) cgi_module (static) negotiation_module (static) dir_module (static) actions_module (static) userdir_module (static) alias_module (static) rewrite_module (static) so_module (static) php5_module (shared) Syntax OK Anybody have any ideas/suggestions?
