Hi, I'm trying to password protect one of my web accessable directories and I can't get .htaccess to work in a Centos 5.1 box Here's what I did I created an .htaccess file with the contents: AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/mysite/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null require valid-user and I uploaded it to the dir I want to protect. Then I created my password outside of my web dir with the command: htpasswd -c .htpasswd pam then followed password prompts, created my password. So then I go to the site, and am not seeing any password required box, I can see site without a login. So then I figured it's not turned on in apache, and went to httpd.conf and changed AllowOverride None to AllowOverride AuthConfig When I reload, apache will not reload. What am I doing wrong?
The syntax for auth stuff changed between Apache 2.0 and 2.2 (which is used in CentOS 5). In particular, you'll need a AuthBasicProvider declaration:
