Hi, Im trying to password protect a folder and on that folder I place the file .htaccess, on other folder outside my root I put the .passwordfile.

On the httpd.conf file I make this change:

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride AuthConfig
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Satisfy all

</Directory>

For some reson everytime I go to the protected folder ... it never ask for the password.

On the error.log I find this message:
client denied by server configuration: C:/webserver/public_html/secure/.htaccess

Note that C:/webserver/ = /home/

What I did wrong?

Always good to know which version of Apache you are using ?


First try the basic stuff and see if that works:

<Directory />
AllowOverride all
AuthBasicAuthoritative Off
AuthUserFile x:/xxxxx/passwordfile
</Directory>

I find the problem so I will post it here....Maybe I use a old tutorial or something like that, but at least for version 2.2 it seems that "AuthConfig" must be added here (it is on bold and underline)....


<Directory "root directory">
#
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI

#
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride AuthConfig

#
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all

</Directory>
