I am new to Apache server trying to set up a web site.
I just downloaded Apache latest version on my windows xp platform.
I am trying to protect my website with username and password.
In the httpd.conf file I added line for my directory
…/htdocs/test
Allowoverride AuthConfig
order allow deny
options none
This is what is configured.
.htaccess file is created with
AuthConfig private
AuthAccessFile ……/password.txt ( eventhough I generated password using htpasswd changed it to password.txt file moved it ot another directory.)
…. basic
… require valid-user.
When I restart apache I get 403 error. Never get user prompt.
If I add one more line under my dir. in httpd file saying allow all, I can access my site without being prompted for username etc.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks,
RH |
