From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Rodent of Unusual Size) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: documentation/626: Date: Tue, 03 Jun 1997 16:31:41 -0400 [Text from originator, accidentally attached to the wrong part of the bugdb] Here's the appropriate part of access.conf for my test machine. <Location /server-status> SetHandler server-status order deny,allow deny from all allow from 127.0.0.1 require valid-user AuthName Server Status: Use 'anonymous' and your email address for access AuthType basic #******** AuthUserFile conf/server-passwd #******** Anonymous_Authoritative on Anonymous anonymous guest Anonymous_LogEmail on Anonymous_VerifyEmail on Anonymous_NoUserID off </Location> If either or both of the two marked lines are commented out, I get "access to /server-status failed for 127.0.0.1, reason: configuration error: couldn't check user. No user file?" messages in the error log. I've done some further testing and these lines are needed *only* if they are not otherwise defined. I tried adding them in a "<Directory />" section and it works. My current setup did not have them. Seems like they have to be "visible" in some way. It's not a big deal. I just think it should be stated clearly in the documentation. John
