Make sure you have something like

<Directory /home/*/public_html>
AllowOverride AuthConfig
.....
</Directory>

in your httpd.conf, otherwise .htaccess files get ignored.

Betreff: [suse-security] Can't seem to get .htpasswd to work =(

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Bah! For the life of me, I can not get .htpasswd/.htaccess to work on my
SuSE7.2 ( Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) (SuSE/Linux) mod_layout/1.0 mod_throttle/3.0

mod_fastcgi/2.2.2 mod_ssl/2.8.3 OpenSSL/0.9.6a mod_perl/1.25 mod_dtcl
PHP/4.0.5 ).

I have everything (that I know to set up, anyway) set up as:

###########################################################

meme:~/public_html

- -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 209 Sep 27 21:27 .htaccess
- -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 13 Sep 27 21:28 /home/me/.htgroup
- -rw-r--r-- 1 me me 20 Sep 27 21:32 /home/me/.htpasswd

/home/me/public_html/.htaccess:

AuthName "Restricted"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /home/me/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /home/me/.htgroup
<Limit GET POST>
Require group chunks
</Limit>

/home/me/.htpasswd:

test:VJdx0yi1Y3LKc
{blank line as suggested on one site; also tried without}

/home/me/.htgroup:

chunks: test

############################################################

I've tried by group, user, "valid-user", with and without "Limit" in
.htaccess, with and without a group (left off and /dev/null) .... The
'password box' always comes up, but no matter what, does not authorize me.

Anyone have any insight as to what I'm skipping or missing here?

TIA
Geo
