Apache and authentication problems - 2/23/2005 21:36:54   
Hi
I'm running Apache 1.3.23 on Win Xp using localhost.
I'm trying to learn authentication, but am stuffing it up somehow.

I created a user using htpasswd - for now leaving it in the bin/users

I then added the following to my httpd.conf file, restarted apache.
<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/htdocs/test">
AuthName "restricted stuff"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache/bin/users"

Require valid-user
</Directory>

In the "main" directory permissions - I changed it to:
AllowOverride AUthConfig

When I try to access the directory test, an authentication screen pops up, but doesn't allow me access. I get a 401 error.

Apache has been working fine - handling php and sql - but I've obviously stuffed up something here.

Can anyone please help?

Hi Paul

My guess would be that the Admin password etc for localhost are not the same as the set that you're using to log in with....
