Hello Matthew,
I'm guessing that the confusion is the difference between <Directory>
and <Location> blocks. Directory blocks reference the filesystem,
location blocks are relative to the docroot and can be virtual.

Hello,
I'm having a terrible time configuring something that is pretty basic
with apache and I'm not sure what I'm missing.
I have a new apache 2.0.55 install (on redhat 3.0) with mod_auth built
in (the default). I am trying to put some basic authentication on some
directories off of the the docroot, but no matter what I do, I don't get
the authentication challenge when accessing the directory.
Here's my httpd.conf virtual host:
<VirtualHost 10.3.82.190:80>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
DocumentRoot /u01/webpages/sparky
ServerName sparky.arrowinternet.com
ErrorLog /u01/logs/sparky.arrrowinternet.com-error.log
CustomLog /u01/logs/sparky.arrrowinternet.com-access.log combined
<Directory /blah >
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Sparky Realm"
AuthUserFile /u01/app/apache2055/users
Options Indexes
Require valid-user
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
I've already created the user/password file with htpasswd. I am not
using .htaccess files (I don't think this is necessary) since the
documentation states I can either edit the httpd.conf file, or put the
settings within an .htaccess file.
I'm not sure what I'm missing here. I know it must be something very
basic, but I'm just missing it.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
