Confusion: I have set up this directive per the yolinux.com examples
to allow simple password protection on a directory. This is in my
httpd.conf file:
>>>>>>>>
<Directory /web/html/missy>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
AuthName "MISSY'S PLACE"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /web/etc/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require user missy
</Directory>
<<<<<<<<
Boyle, are you saying that AllowOverride is not necessary?
Here are the other main Directory entries:
<Directory "/">
# Options FollowSymLinks
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</Directory>
<Directory "/web/html">
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks
IndexOptions FancyIndexing IconsAreLinks
AllowOverride None
Allow from all
Order deny,allow
</Directory>
