Hello
I am having a few problems with authentication. No matter what I do I
can not set up a password protected directorys.
I have tried using .htaccess, a directory container in the conf file
even tried using plesk (plesk does it automatically in the conf file).
When I set everything up all I get is a 401 error. There is no pop-up
login box. So no chance to even enter a passwd.
Other directives in .htaccess files seem to work ok. Just not
authentication!
I do get some errors in the logs but nothing I understand! (see below)
The server is only a week only RH9 running
httpd 2.0.40-21.17.legacy
php 4.3.10-1.rh90.art
mod_python 3.0.1-4
mod_perl 1.99_07-5
perl-Apache-ASP 2.57-rh9.build75041216.14
I am not that hot on *nix stuff and this has really got me stumped. The
syntax of the .htaccess files are correct as they work when moved to
other servers (with path changes obviously)
I have posted a copy of my conf file here if anyone wants to take a look
http://tor-bay.co.uk/httpd_conf.txt
Here is the error log (not live)
http://tor-bay.co.uk/error_log.txt
The directory I am trying to protect is
http://tor-bay.co.uk/admin/
The server php info page can be seen here if needed
http://hosting-reserve.co.uk/info.php
There are no errors logged (debug) when accessing the page that should
be protected except 404 (error page not found) in the domain log. Server
log shows errors when I restart apache (see end of log file for latest
restart)
I have googled for the past two days with no luck. Hope someone has some
ideas. I did check with the plesk support team but they assure me it can
not be a plesk problem as plesk does not change or interfere with apache
in any way. The did suggest it may be a permissions problem but they
look correct.
When you look at the httpd_conf.txt file you will see some of the
modules have been commented out. That was me, they were all live. I have
just been trying to comment things out to see if that helps.
I don't have much of a clue about re-compiling programs etc on RH9 so
please keep it simple for me if you do have any ideas :)
Thanks in advance
Alan
