http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=12138 AuthUserFile ignored Summary: AuthUserFile ignored Product: Apache httpd-1.3 Version: 1.3.26 Platform: PC URL: http://www.sino.uni-heidelberg.de OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Auth/Access AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] After one day with quite a simple problem, I came to the conclusion, that there must be a bug in the apache version 1.3.26, (which had come with debian woody): We are no longer able to install a propper ".htaccess" file. While the webserver seems to interpretate the .htaccess-file, giving the right realm-name when asking for the password, it ignores the line "AuthUserFile". We are quite sure that all of our configuration is correct. But when one tries to login to the secured directory, the error-log says, that it could not find the user in the directory, where .htaccess was, -in spite of usiing the information in the AuthUserFile-line. We have no idea about the reasons. Best regards, Oliver Sass ps. this is your configuration httpd.conf: <Directory /usr/local/httpd/htdocs> Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory> .htaccess: AuthName restricted AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /to/the/dir/.htpasswd <Limit GET> require user tester </Limit> And this is a line from the errorlog: [error] user tester not found: /realative/linkto/htaccess/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
