Jody,
Check to make sure that the username which apache is running under has
read access for the /home, /home/cleveland & /home/cleveland/password
directories. If you're apache is running as 'nobody' then you'll
probably need 744 on the directory files themselves. The other
possibility is that you'll need the execute bit set as well - 755. hth

Hello,
I've got a site I'm trying to protect with a .htaccess file.
In the .htaccess file, I've got this:
AuthUserFile /home/cleveland/passwords/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "phpMyAdmin for Mystique"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
With this as permissions:
-rwxr--r-- 1 cleveland apache 164 Aug 19 11:28 .htaccess
I created a .htpasswd file in the directory /home/cleveland/passwords
with this as permissions:
-rwxr--r-- 1 cleveland apache 24 Aug 19 11:27 .htpasswd
When I go to that directory that's protected, I do get a password box,
but it won't accept my name and password.
In my error_log, there's this:
[error] [client 172.30.2.145] (13)Permission denied: Could not open
password file: /home/cleveland/passwords/.htpasswd
Any ideas what may be wrong? I thought both files had the right
permissions. I even tried chmod'ing both files to 777 and it didn't
work.
