Mahahakti89, Since you are getting prompted with a basic-auth password dialogue, your configuration is probably correct, but you do need to establish a password for the "root" user.
Look in your config that you pasted from Apache, where you mention the "AuthUserFile." This is the flat-file password db that Apache uses to authenticate users. If you cat the file that you reference with this directive you probably won't see anything in it, if it even exists. # cat /var/www/dspam/etc/htpasswd If the file exists and you either have no root password or need to reset it, type this at the prompt # htpasswd /var/www/dspam/etc/htpasswd root You will be prompted to enter the root password twice. If this file doesn't exists, put a "-c" after the htpasswd command and before the file location. As soon as this has been set, try to browse to your site again, no restart of Apache should be necessary. hth, Sean > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi ! > > After setting up dspam as a content filter, it works now O.K, I am > trying to set up the webfrontend, but .... > if I turn my browser to https://localhost/dspam/html/dspam.cgi , I am > prompted for a username and a password ...
