http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20989 .htaccess not hitting AuthUserFile with virtual hosts Summary: .htaccess not hitting AuthUserFile with virtual hosts Product: Apache httpd-1.3 Version: 1.3.27 Platform: PC OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: Other Component: Auth/Access AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] .htaccess authorization is failing to work with virtual hosts. I have approximately 220 virtual hosts running on a vanilla Apache system. Users create .htaccess files, which are honored by the server. However, the AuthUserFile's are never accessed by the server for verification. I have conducted a number of tests to come to this conclusion, including comparing the behavior to a system with out virtual hosts. Monitoring the access times on the .htaccess and .htpasswd files shows that Apache is hitting the .htaccess file, but regardless of where the .htpasswd file is placed, it is never accessed. All the usual suspects have been checked, permissions, httpd.conf, etc. According to some Google searching, I am not the only user experiencing difficulties like this. The error log shows (assuming we're using user 'testme', and the directory being protected is '/test' off the DocumentRoot) "User testme not found: /test". In the .htaccess file, I've tried absolute paths, relative paths from DocumentRoot, etc. Including placing a .htpasswd file in /tmp, which is world readable and writeable. I will be happy to apply suggestions for debugging, and test any patches. This is on a Debian system with a 2.4.18 kernel. Using the search string "apache user not found .htaccess recoil" in Google will show a user with an identical problem (first hit, you'll have to look at the cache link, or trying this URL: www.experts-exchange.com/Operating_Systems/ Linux/Linux_Administration/Q_20639239.html) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
