Re: .htaccess help!




Well,

A example in .conf or .htaccess with only user authentification (no group):

    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Restricted Access"
    AuthUserFile /home/web/etc/sdjhsfdi
    Require valid-user

Just must be sure that Web-server (so the ID or GID of the WebServer process) have access to the sdjhsfdi file for reading (and all tree just before the file).

The sdjhsfdi file must be more or less so:

User1:PASSWD_CRYPTED
User2:PASSWD_CRYPTED
User3:PASSWD_CRYPTED
...

crypted just with crypt (use mkpasswd).
Anyway i can always use the 'htpasswd' application which go with apache and create password files asking for for a user, a passwd etc...

Seeya.

Note: sorry, i must learn so much english yet.

Hello there, I hope you can excuse my ignorance in these matters...

In order to protect certain html dirs with a password, I was told by a
good member of this list to make sure that I had the mod_auth enabled in
httpd.conf. Which I do.

Thend I was told that I need an .htaccess file which I created with
htpasswd in /home/myusername/.htaccess...

But when i create the file and look for
http://www.myserver.com/~myusername i get:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request...

Can someone give me a hand here as to what i'm missing?

Thanks!
