.htaccess being ignored?

[Void Main]

If it works in one directory and not in another then it can't really be a module problem. It has something to do with what directory it's in. I think I know what the problem is. What happens if you move your .htpasswd file to /etc/httpd/htpasswd and changing the .htaccess file to point to it there instead, just to see how that effects it. P.S. I always put the password file outside of the directory structure of the web pages being served.

[Void Main]

I just figured it out. Instead of "require xxx" use "require user xxx" OR "require valid-user".

Same error, getting login box but password won't work

Code: Select all

[Mon Nov 22 23:59:30 2010] [error] [client 82.xx.xxx.x] access to /usage failed, reason: require directives present and no Authoritative handler.


All I get from google is that there seem to be some modules missing.


Can it be something that I use SHA instead of kerberos which I've heard is crap.

[Void Main]

Read my last post. I tested it on my laptop and got the same error you are getting until I used the proper "require" syntax.
