 |
|
Apache 2.0.55, PHP 4.4.3, Windows 2K Server
I followed the instructions on this site to the letter using the "ht.acl" file.
http://sniptools.com/tutorials/windows-apache-and-htaccess-authentication
I rebooted the server and now get a "500 Internal Server Error" when trying to access the secure folder. Is there anything wrong with these instructions?
This is the line in the error log:
| Code: | | [Sat Nov 11 20:55:49 2006] [alert] [client 192.XXX.XXX.X] C:/Program Files/XXXXXXXXXXX/ht.acl: AuthUserFile takes 1-2 arguments, text file containing user IDs and passwords |
Also how would I setup a secure folder in a public directory (the first virtual host website) only accessible on the server. What would be an easy way to do this? Thanks! |

| I got it to display a un/pw prompt when the folder is accessed. Now the problem, it that it won't recognize anything I put in. I even tried a one letter username and password and it still doesn't let me in. |

| When you create the password file with htpasswd try -p instead of -m so the password will be saved as plain text. Sometimes it don't work with crypted passwords |

| Thanks for the idea but no luck on it. I'll be doing a format of my server tonight and installing apache 2.2.3 and php 4.4.4. Hopefully it will work after this. |
