Hi fellows. When i'm turning on a mod_perl based aapche server my .htaccess directories doesn't work anymore. Already revised the httpsd.conf file and I guess the directives are well for more information these are the lines of my configuration file : # for the document root directory <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory "somewhere on path"> AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes <Limit GET> order allow,deny allow from all </Limit> </Directory> ############## and on my .htaccess files I am using this : AuthUserFile /some/path/outside/root_document/.htpasswd AuthName Consulta de SOME AuthType Basic <Limit GET> require valid-user order deny,allow deny from all </Limit> What i'm doing wrong . When I created the mod_perl + apache i used this configuration on Makefile.PL : perl Makefile.PL \ APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.6/src \ DO_HTTPD=1 \ USE_APACI=1 \ PREP_HTTPD=1 \ EVERYTHING=1 make; Can anybody help me .
