guiness Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 OK, I've been on this for two hours and have gone through the million pages in the forum on it. So what am I doing wrong? I'm set up local on winxp pro, running latest apache/php versions with OSC 2.2- inside my admin folder- htaccess: AuthUserFile /apache/htdocs/.htpasswd AuthName Admin AuthType Basic <Limit GET POST> require user king </Limit> outside my admin folder- htpasswd: king:guf0jyb38NlK I'm not presented with an access box... just goes straight to page. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbzilla Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 I'm set up local on winxp pro...AuthUserFile /apache/htdocs/.htpasswd Wow! XP sure must have changes since Win2k. I still have to use directory letters (ie. C:/program files/apache group/apache2/htdocs/.htpasswd) to access my files.. I would much rather use the unix style though.. I guess I'll have to upgrade! :wink: Try something like this: ========================= AuthUserFile c:/Passwords/.htpasswd AuthName "Localhost's Administration" AuthType Basic <Limit GET POST> require valid-user </Limit> ========================= **NOTE** Storing your .htpasswd in htdocs is obsolutely CARELESS. Think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiness Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 I'll give it a try. Thanks Yah, my password file will not reside in the web area when it's uploaded. I figure I need to get it working first.... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiness Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 OK, set up "passwords" folder and made changes to .htaccess. Still opens page without requesting user/pass. My Apache install is all default, is there something there I need to be looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbzilla Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Make sure in httpd.conf you set: AllowOverride All Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbzilla Posted September 17, 2002 Share Posted September 17, 2002 Don't forget to RESTART Apache after editing httpd.conf. You must do this upon any changes to httpd.conf , php.ini , showering, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiness Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 OK, maybe this is it. Am I at the right place? <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> it should read? <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride ALL </Directory> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiness Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 actually I'm finding more instances of "allow overide none".... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guiness Posted September 17, 2002 Author Share Posted September 17, 2002 OK, got it. The allowoveride none was a stand alone line. Changed it to ALL and all is good. Thanks! I must have tried every single possible combination of peoples ideas on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
