Bug#224259: apache: user not found in Basic authentication

[Fabio Massimo Di Nitto <fabbione@fabbione.net>]

Hi Garamszegi,
		this is mostlikely an error in your configuration. Please
use modules-config and remove all the auth modules that you do not need
and leave only mod_auth. This should make it working. Let me know asap if
it does or not.

Thanks
Fabio
