Hi, Im using apache2.2 on Ubuntu 12.04. Im trying to password protect a page using htacces and/or the directory command.
Basically no matter what method I use to try and password the index page it doesnt work. I can protect pages and dir's below, but not in the root www of a vhost.
basically:
/home/cackles/mysite with index.html and .htaccess will allow index.html to load and wont prompt for a pass until the page is refreshed.
/home/cackles/mysite/subdir will prompt for a pass before it goes any further.
I purged and started from scratch again last night and for nothing, it would seem, well I learned/refreshed a few things so it wasnt a complete bust ... just 7hrs  |

What is your AllowOverride set to?
AllowOverride AuthConfig? Or AllowOverride none? |

Probably a lack of what I have:
/etc/apache2/sites-available/myconfig
| Code: | <VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.url
DocumentRoot /home/cackles/scrap/
</VirtualHost> |
apache2.conf
| Code: | <Directory /home/cackles/mysite/test>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Enter password"
AuthBasicProvider file
AuthUserFile /home/cackles/scrappass
Require valid-user
</Directory> |
I tried using the /etc/apache2/sites-available/default but when I do I get an internal server error. |
