I'm having a strange problem that MUST be something silly.
I have migrated my RH 7.3 / Apache 1.3 sites to Apache 2.0 on RedHat 8.0.
I have done so by editing the original RH8 httpd.conf (ie I am not using
an Apache 1.3 config file or anything).
I had (and have) configured my defaults as follows
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Order deny,allow
# Deny from all" turns off access to everyone
# UNLESS explicitly turned on below or in a lower directory.
deny from all
# user/group based access control; ALLOW valid users
AuthType Basic
AuthName TemporalArts
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/users
AuthGroupFile /etc/httpd/conf/groups
require valid-user
# IP address based access control; ALLOW from specific IP addresses.
allow from 66.47.184.200/255.255.255.248
allow from localhost .localdomain
# Satisfy any of the access requirements to get in.
satisfy any
-----------------------------------------------------------
It works (as it did before). I can access Apache on the RH8 server using
Mozilla or IE from other workstations (some RH73, some W2K) on the local
network. I can access the server using Konquer from a root login/desktop
on the RH8 server.
BUT attempts to access the server from any users desktop on the RH8
server using Mozilla always brings up a login dialog (it shouldn't) and
fails even if I enter an Apache user/password (added using htpasswd, etc.)
I have cleared the Mozilla caches and changed the prefernces to compare
the page on every view.
Any idea what's going on?
Thanks
