i have this htpasswd file:
and this htaccess file: | Code: | AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user |
It comes up with the login screen, but when i submit the username and password it comes up with this error. | Quote: | Internal Server Error

Please contact the server administrator, something@something.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

| AuthGroupFile /dev/null is from Unix system (trash / delete)! Do you have a folder /dev/null? Nope you have not! |

???? AuthType Basic is for asking the username and the password! What do you want to do? |

| I'm not sure but i think you have a unix crypt hash which isnt the default in windows use apr-1 md5 by using htpasswd.exe |

| Jorge why add -s to htpasswd? sha is useful for migration from other servers like netscape but it is less secure than apache md5 because apache's variant is salted while sha isn't so an apache md5 will give many different hashes for the same password |

I had some problems shareing a password file using md5 between Win32 and Mac variants, I didn't have that with sha1

Why it didn't work?
the format was user:crypt(password)
the crypt command doesn't exist on windows.
I know of no web based one. I do have a php class that can be used to manage htpasswd files (= validate users, add users and delete users) |
