Re: Apache access control
Some things to check would be:
1. Within the Directory directive, check the AllowOverride statement. It
must contain the AuthConfig directive-type.
2. AccessFileName needs to be .htaccess if that's the name of your file.
3. Have to reboot the server too :-)
If you haven't seen it already you might want to look at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html. Good advice on the use
of .htaccess files.
