I'll take a stab at it. Make sure you have the .htaccess file in the directory you are trying to control access to. The format should be something like this:
AuthName "Access" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /usr/apache/conf/htpassword AuthGroupFile /usr/apache/conf/htgroup <limit GET> require group users </limit> Now edit the httpd.conf file and make sure "AllowOverride None" is changed to "AllowOverride All". Make sure the htgroup file has the desired access name in it. I.e. users: fred john Now add the password by typing: /usr/apache/bin/htpasswd -c /usr/apache/conf/htpassword john Please note you apache is probably not in /usr/apache. Please substitute /usr/apache for the apache directory in the example above. Hope this helps. paul -- Paul McHale Work: 937-253-7610 Double E Solutions Mobile: 937-371-2828 4912 Effingham Fax: 413-215-3232 Dayton, Ohio 45431 -- > -----Original Message----- > From: Brian Schramm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2000 10:05 PM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Subject: Help with apachie > > > I am running Debian Slink.
