Howdy List, I keep thinking this is a simple problem and ought to have a simple fix, but all I'm succeeding at doing is pulling out my hair. I'm trying to require logins to a certain directory on my webserver using .htaccess files. I've got the following in the .htaccess file in the directory needing to be password protected: <Directory> AuthType Basic AuthName "Conlaw login" AuthUserFile /usr/lib/apache-ssl/passwd/passwdfile Require valid-user </Directory> I also tried it w/o the <Directory> tags, but it didn't seem to affect anything. I also changed the line "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" in /etc/apache-ssl/httpd.conf (Yes, the password requirement is on my ssl server, and I am using the https url when trying to test it.) I even tried copying the htaccess.debian file in /usr/share/doc/apache-ssl/examples/ to .htaccess in one of the directories in the apache-ssl Documentroot, but it didn't work either. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? TIA, Jacob ----- GnuPG Key: 1024D/16377135 In a world without fences, who needs Gates? http://www.linux.org/
