The below configuration is intended to restrict access to /admin-cgi/ to members of the group "admin", which is defined in a plain text file, whilst users and passwords are in a DBM file. [...] AuthGroupFile /Users/leegoddard/src/www/northfoto2/auth/northfoto_groups.db
The problem seems to be solved, but the solution does not seem valid.There appears to have been a conflict between these two groups of directives:
ScriptAlias /adminjr-cgi/ "/Users/leegoddard/src/www/northfoto2/adminjr-cgi/"
<Directory "/Users/leegoddard/src/www/northfoto2/adminjr-cgi/"> ... Require group admin ... </Directory> Conflicted with: <LocationMatch "/admin/*"> At least, when I changed the latter to the below, all behaved as expected: <LocationMatch "/admin/index.shtml"> ... Require group adminjr ... </Location> Have I misunderstood the PCRE engine, or is this a bug...?
