I am having trouble getting apache2 recognizing directory protection.
I've created a directory /var/www/mydir and created .htaccess &
.htpasswd files in there but am never prompted for login.
.htaccess
AuthUserFile /var/www/mydir/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "test"
require valid-user
.htpasswd
mytestuser:<hashedScramble>
I understand that .htpasswd should reside someplace else and even
moved it to rule this out but is the above not enough on a default
installation of apache2 under lenny to protect a directory?
Your httpd.conf must "AllowOverride AuthConfig" for /var/www/mydir:
#Password-protected access to mydir.
<Directory "/var/www/mydir">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
</Directory>
The httpd docs at <http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/> are useful for
this sort of thing. You might want to look at the tutorials.
