look in your apache error log, it will likely give you the error detail
that you'll never get from the user-oriented 500 error message.
right ,it gives me the error message :AuthUserFile not allowed here,
so should i assume that i must change the settings for the .htaccess under httpd.conf ,for they should work under the path :

/var/www/html/ and furthur subfolders,

or where should i be looking for ,for restricting the use of the .htaccess.
Thanks,for the reply so far!

Subject: .htpasswd/.htaccess problem...

Hello and cheers!

i'm having this kind of apache security problem on RHEL3:
-if i specify .htaccess /.htpasswd for any of the
(sub-)directories/files under : /home/<user's name>/public_html/,this
authentificating algorythm is working good.
-but if i try to secure some other folder under different path ,let's
say under:
/var/www/html/publications_nonfree/
i'm getting always one and the same error:
<----cut here----->

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx and
inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might
have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server
error log.

<----cut here----->

-i'm sure ,i'm giving the right absolute path to .htpasswd;
-i'm sure i'm crypting the right way the user's password using :
# htpasswd .htpasswd <login-user's name> ,and afterthat i'm getting
# the password/retype prompt...

What could cause such kind of error?

if you send me just links i schould be also pleased;
better login promts scripts for a website are welcomed!

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

krassen
