Maybe something with the hosting service? .htaccess internal-server-error .htpasswd share|improve this question asked Mar 24 '13 at 11:52 no0ne 80161733 Suggestion: find your error log file and learn how to use it :) –Ben Millwood Mar 24 '13 at 11:54 Is your AuthUserFile correct? I'd think it should be something like AuthUserFile home/folder/.htpasswd –blamonet Mar 24 '13 at 11:54 Thanks blamonet, but it didn't help. I'm looking into Mr. Millwoods suggestion. –no0ne Mar 24 '13 at 12:00 related: stackoverflow.com/questions/19060586/… –Jay Apr 10 '14 at 22:22 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote First of all, consult the error-log (usually located in /var/log/apache2/error.log) to see the exact cause of the error. If you do not have access to it, check the following: is this technique supported by the server? (ask your provider or admin) is AuthUserFile correct? It seems to be missing a slash and the directory is unusual. I would have suspected something like AuthUserFile /home/webuser/sitefolder/.htpasswd. change the group-file to AuthGroupFile None instead of pointing apache to read /de

A 500 error must create a log entry somewhere. (The error is most likely the leading / in your paths, though. Your htpasswd file is not really in the system's root directory, is it?) –Pekka 웃 Nov 14 '13 at 1:07 a 404 error is registered, but not this 500 error. –user2990084 Nov 14 '13 at 1:08 Strange. Are you sure you are looking in the error log? And not the access log? –Pekka 웃 Nov 14 '13 at 1:08 @Pekka웃, maybe this screenshot can be helpful postimg.org/image/t6l77852b –user2990084 Nov 14 '13 at 1:21 Ah, so you're indeed in a directory of that name with it. Not sure what's going on then, maybe un-hide the directory by naming it htpasswds - and look out for that error log. Apache 2 has per-site error logs –Pekka 웃 Nov 14 '13 at 1:22 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 0 down vote I don't know exactly what is the problem, but my host provider suggests this: In cpanel Section security Option Web Protect That will generate: AuthType Basic AuthName "Protected" AuthUserFile "/home/abvnfj/.htpasswds/public_html/passwd" require valid-user share|improve this answer answered
htaccess anandamideOctober 9th, 2009, 11:17 AMHi chaps I'm https://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1286582.html setting up a private webserver and want to make http://academe.co.uk/2014/05/error-500-on-password-protecting-a-directory/ it password protected. However, the page is still displaying with no requirement for a password. I've used htpasswd to create a password, created a .htaccess file and edited the apache config file. .htpasswd is in internal server /home/philip/ .htaccess is in /var/www htaccess reads: AuthType BasicAuthName "Password Required"AuthUserFile /home/philip/.htpasswdRequire User Philip Here's the diff from /etc/apache2/apache2.conf and /etc/apache2/apache2.cong-original: 136c136< AccessFileName /var/www/.htaccess---> AccessFileName .htaccess167c167< HostnameLookups On---> HostnameLookups Off282,290d281<< #Password protect site<
cPanel to password protect a directory on a website. It was all point-click, so should have been simple and just work, except it didn't. After entering your login credentials, the server would return an error instead of giving you access to the directory contents: Error 500: Internal Server Error By password protecting the directory, cPanel was adding this to .htaccess in the protected directory: AuthName "Protected!" AuthUserFile "/home/account-name/.htpasswds/public_html/protected-directory/passwd" AuthType Basic require valid-user The problem was that cPanel was putting the password into a file that the apache process could not access. For whatever reason, the apache process could not read .htpasswds/public_html/protected-directory/passwd to check the credentials. The fix was to move the password file to somewhere the apache file could access it. In this case, I put it into the web root: /home/account-name/public_html/.passwd I made it an "hidden" file by prefixing it with a "." and this prevents it from being served up on the website. The AuthUserFile entry was set to point to this file: AuthUserFile "/home/account-name/public_html/.passwd" There will be other ways to solve the problem, other users running the httpd process and other security concerns to take into account, but making sure the password file can be read by the httpd process serving the site from account-name was the key.
