Hi,
I'm trying to protect a directory, something I've done countless times before.
Now, instead of appearing the dialog with the login and password
boxes, I get a 404 !!!
Here's my files:
.htaccess:
AuthType Basic
AuthName imgs
AuthUserFile /home/absinto/public_html/imgs/.htpasswd
require valid-user
.htpasswd:
imgs:6TFsHlTQhms6Q
Would you be so kind to try:
http://www.absinto.org/imgs/
or
http://www.absinto.org/imgs/firefox.png
The login and the password are both "imgs" (without the quotes).
This boggles me!
As a last note, I have no access to the Apache configuration file.
Any help would be appreciated.
Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito
Judging by the fact that loading the URL
http://www.absinto.org/imgs/firefox.png gives an HTML page as opposed to
an image or Apache 404 error page, I would assume you are using
mod_rewrite somewhere (perhaps Wordpress does this)? A custom 404 error
page would also explain this, but since pulling the URL
http://www.absinto.org/imgs/ also gives the 404 error, I wouldn't think
that is the case. I would look at the rewrite rules first if the file
/imgs/firefox.png really does exist on the server. As long as
mod_rewrite is altering the URL in some way unexpected, you're still
going to have weird anomalies.
Also, in what directory is the .htaccess file located? It is inside of a
<Directory> container?
