 |
|
I can't get my .htaccess and .htpasswd to work on my apache server. Do you have to activate something in a config file? I have done the .htaccess and .htpasswd files like http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/Recipes/PasswordBasicAuth says but I don't seem to understand the directory thing.
//Thanks for the help in advance, Filip |

Hello,
you have to enable .htaccess by default it is disabled
AllowOverride None
to
AllowOverride all
e.g.
DocumentRoot "/server2/www"
<Directory "/server2/www">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory> |

Where in the httpd.conf is this string located or where do I have to put it ?
Should the <Directory> point to the .htpasswd, .htaccess file or just to the document root ? |

DocumentRoot "C:/apache2/htdocs"
<Directory "C:/apache2/htdocs">
There is a code block in your httpd.conf where your doc root is defined.
Also there is a <Directory block where the rules defined for the doc root folder. There you have to change
