Apache httpd.conf / .htaccess issues.... [message #485]

Hi All,

I am setting up our Windows 2003 Server and strugling with the Apache directory/.htaccess issues.

In my httpd.conf I have....

Quote:

<Directory "D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs/phpMyAdmin">
AllowOverride All
Options All
</Directory>

Which is the directory on my server I am 'trying' to protect (which is where my .htaccess file resides).

In my .htaccess file I have....

Quote:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "phpMyAdmin Secure Area"
AuthUserFile D:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/.htpasswd
Require valid-user

Which is where I have my .htpasswd file.

When I browse that directory I get "500 Internal Server Error" and cannot see why it is not working.

If I delete the .htaccess file, I can get to that directory OK.

Any ideas, or does someone see where I messed up??

Thanks,

Don

Try putting the path to .htpasswd in AuthUserFile in quotes like you did in Directory.

Anyway, have you considered using phpMyAdmin's own password protection? It is safer than Basic Authentication with .htaccess. See "cookie" authentication at http://www.phpmyadmin.net/documentation/#authentication_modes
