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.

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 /dev/null. Think of /dev/null as a bottom-less trashcan. It's not easy to get anything from there and might be a reason for the server to fail trying. change the case of your require to Require valid-user. It needs to be a capital R. To sum up: AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/webuser/sitefolder/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile None Require valid-user For furt

Not sure what's going on then, maybe un-hide the directory by naming it htpasswds - and look out for that error log.

However do not be fooled. Careful inspection and a bit of Google searching led me back to the AuthUserFile declaration. But what could be wrong with it? The file exists on the server. The passwords are properly encrypted. The problem was internal server error the "www" folder. Or should I rather say symlink. Changing "www" to the original folder: "public_html" solved the issue.

I've created a .htaccess and a .htpasswd file, both using my hosting's tool, uploaded them, and I get an error when I try to view the directory: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. I've tried talking to the support team, but they didn't seem to be able to help. .htaccess file contents: Code: AuthName "Please log in" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /customers/scutterman.com/scutterman.com/httpd.www/kkids/construction/landing/.htpasswd require valid-user The .htpasswd file is in the same directory, like the tool told me to. A long time ago I set up another .htaccess protected directory and that still works. I checked this file against that one and I can't see anything different except the actual directory it's looking for the .htpasswd file in. Only thing I can think of is that the file is saved using the wrong encoding (I know it needs to be uploaded using an ascii transfer) but I tried with ansi and utf-8 and nothing changed. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance -Scut Reply With Quote 0 01-17-2010,04:51 PM #2 foobic View Profile View Forum P
