Surely you mean "try to configure fail2ban in order to ban IP addresses which repeatedly *fail* to login to a apache protected directory" Protected by .htaccess could mean:- Redirect 301 /admn/scripts/setup.php http://goatse.info/ rather than:- AuthUserFile "/somewhere/htusers" AuthType something AuthName something require valid-user Probably an English thing. Hope I've understood you correctly and you actually mean auth as opposed to redirect. > > Here is my [apache] section in jail.conf: > > enabled = true > port = http,https > filter = apache-auth > logpath = /var/log/apache*/*error.log > maxretry = 3 > > But I tested filling the auth form with erroneous login/password and > nothing happens! Nothing appeared in /var/log/fail2ban.log...

Nothing. That's the correct behaviour (three strikes and out).
