AV1611 Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 If I put this: AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/passwd/passwords AuthGroupFile /dev/null AuthName EnterPassword AuthType Basic Require user realmusername in the <directory> section of my httpd.conf file, I get the realm password prompt. but If I put it in my .htaccess in the /var/www/html it doesn't prompt me for the password??? Can someone tell me why .htaccess isn't being read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV1611 Posted September 30, 2007 Author Share Posted September 30, 2007 had to make this change from AllowOverride None to AllowOverride AuthConfig in <directory "/var/www/html"> in httpd.conf What I did before worked, but was the wrong way to do it.
