Apache2 and .htaccess

[Mike Miller]

Hi all,

 

I currently run a small IRC server (irc.website.com). irc.website.com resolves to 10.20.30.40. The IRC server has the following stuff in it (/home/website):

 

ircd/

logs/

public_html/

services/

passwd (linked in .htaccess)

 

Under /public_html is a sub-folder called logs, which has two folders: channel-logs and private-logs. The .htaccess file is under /public_html/logs. Here's the stuff in it:

AuthName "Enter Password"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/website/passwd
Require valid-user

I have a VirtualHost set up for irclogs.website.com (I have to distribute this link to others) that uses the .htaccess info to log in. However, when irc.website.com is typed into the browser, it prompts me for a username/password, and uses the .htaccess file under /public_html/logs.

VirtualHost:

NameVirtualHost 10.20.30.40:80

<VirtualHost 10.20.30.40:80>
        ServerName irclogs.website.com
        ServerAlias irclogs.website.com
DocumentRoot /home/website/public_html/logs
ServerAdmin webmaster@website.com
        UseCanonicalName Off

#DocumentRoot /home/website/public_html/logs
#Directory /home/website/public_html/logs
#AuthDBMUserFile /home/website/passwd

<Directory />
	Options FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /home/website/public_html/logs>
	Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
	AllowOverride AuthConfig
	Order allow,deny
	allow from all
                AuthName "Private"
                AuthType Basic
                AuthBasicProvider dbm
                AuthDBMUserFile /home/website/passwd
                Require valid-user
</Directory>
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /home/website/public_html/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/home/website/public_html/cgi-bin/">
	AllowOverride None
	Options ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
	Order allow,deny
	Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /home/website/logs/website_error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /home/website/logs/website_access.log combined
        CustomLog /home/website/logs/website.com-bytes_log "%{%s}t %I .\n%{%s}t %O ."
ServerSignature On

</VirtualHost>

Basically, I don't want "irc.website.com" to be accessible from the browser. I only want that to be used when users are connecting to the IRC server. I'm not too good with VirtualHosts (still getting the hang of it). OS = Ubuntu with Apache2.

 

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Any guesses/ideas? I'm willing to try anything at this point.
