.htaccess is the default access file name. It is possible to change this
using the AccessFileName directive, but you'll very likely break something
as a result. The recommended solution is to use a different name for your
password file.

Subject: Apache-Roaming with Netscape-4-72
Hi,
I apologize if I address my question to a wrong newsgroups. I was trying
to enable mod_perl Roaming user with Apache running on i386/RedHat7.x. I
followed all the steps in order to do so but when run Netscape-4.72 I
get the following in the Apache error log file:
/home/web/roaming/.htaccess: Invalid command 'tsariysk:ZJbPFKHxDasnx',
perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server
configuration
It seems that a perl module is trying to interpret .htaccess instead of
to authenticate. Here is my configuration. I installed
Apache-Roaming-0.1002 and in httpd.conf added the following lines:
LoadModule perl_module /usr/lib/apache/libperl.so
AddModule mod_perl.c
and
PerlModule Apache::Roaming
<Location /roaming/>
<limit GET PUT MOVE HEAD DELETE>
</Limit>
PerlHandler Apache::Roaming->handler
PerlTypeHandler Apache::Roaming->handler_type
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Roaming User"
AuthUserFile /home/web/roaming/.htaccess
require valid-user
PerlSetVar BaseDir /home/web/roaming
</Location>
When I restart the server there are no complains. The error pops only
when the client try to connect to the server. I will appreciate any help
to fix what I am missing in my configuration.
Thanks in advance,
Ted
