Hi Kinkie, Okay. I mentioned that Apache and Squid are on the same machine so httpd.conf has this directive: Listen 127.0.0.1:80 Here is the config for one of the websites for which I am doing reverse proxy: <VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80> ServerAdmin webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxx DocumentRoot /usr/local/www/data/domainname.tld ServerName domainname.tld ServerAlias www.domainname.tld ErrorLog /var/log/domainname-error_log CustomLog /var/log/domainname-access_log common <Directory /usr/local/www/data/domainname.tld/> Order Allow,Deny Allow from all </Directory> <Directory /usr/local/www/data/domainname.tld/phpmyadmin4suntra/> Options Indexes Includes MultiViews AuthType Basic AuthName "SIB Admin Centre...Authentication required" AuthUserFile /usr/local/www/data/domainname.tld/.fauxpasswd Order Allow,Deny Allow from all ErrorDocument 402 http://www.domainname.tld/apache_error/error401.html <LIMIT GET POST> Require valid-user </LIMIT> </Directory> </VirtualHost> And my squid.conf entry is as before. I have tried adding login=PASS, but still authentication does not work as expected. I am still missing something, and I'd hate if it's rather obvious ;) -Wash http://www.netmeister.org/news/learn2quote.html DISCLAIMER: See http://www.wananchi.com/bms/terms.php -- +======================================================================+ |\ _,,,---,,_ | Odhiambo Washington <wash@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Zzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ | Wananchi Online Ltd. www.wananchi.com |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-'| Tel: +254 20 313985-9 +254 20 313922 '---''(_/--' `-'\_) | GSM: +254 722 743223 +254 733 744121 +======================================================================+ Where there's a will, there's an Inheritance Tax.
