    [SOLVED] htaccess

    I'm trying to restrict access to certain folders with .htaccess. the only problem is it's not working at all. My .htaccess file is fine, and .htpasswd too. The path to .htpasswd is correct. I have AllowOverride set to AuthConfig in the apache config file, and I've even tried AllowOverride All, nothing works. It still just goes to it without password protection. I have been searching for an answer for so long, and I cannot find a solution for this. Any help is appreciated. It's kind of crucial that I get this working

    Re: htaccess

    instead of going over everything to check can you paste the .conf file here?

    Code:
    #
    # Based upon the NCSA server configuration files originally by Rob McCool.
    #
    # This is the main Apache server configuration file.  It contains the
    # configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
    # See http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ for detailed information about
    # the directives.
    #
    # Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
    # what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
    # consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
    #
    # The configuration directives are grouped into three basic sections:
    #  1. Directives that control the operation of the Apache server process as a
    #     whole (the 'global environment').
    #  2. Directives that define the parameters of the 'main' or 'default' server,
    #     which responds to requests that aren't handled by a virtual host.
    #     These directives also provide default values for the settings
    #     of all virtual hosts.
    #  3. Settings for virtual hosts, which allow Web requests to be sent to
    #     different IP addresses or hostnames and have them handled by the
    #     same Apache server process.
    #
    # Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
    # of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
    # server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
    # with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "/var/log/apache2/foo.log"
    # with ServerRoot set to "" will be interpreted by the
    # server as "//var/log/apache2/foo.log".
    #
    
    ### Section 1: Global Environment
    #
    # The directives in this section affect the overall operation of Apache,
    # such as the number of concurrent requests it can handle or where it
    # can find its configuration files.
    #
    
    #
    # ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
    # configuration, error, and log files are kept.
    #
    # NOTE!  If you intend to place this on an NFS (or otherwise network)
    # mounted filesystem then please read the LockFile documentation (available
    # at <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.1/mod/mpm_common.html#lockfile>);
    # you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
    #
    # Do NOT add a slash at the end of the directory path.

    # Putting this all together, we can internationalize error responses.
    #
    # We use Alias to redirect any /error/HTTP_<error>.html.var response to
    # our collection of by-error message multi-language collections.  We use 
    # includes to substitute the appropriate text.
    #
    # You can modify the messages' appearance without changing any of the
    # default HTTP_<error>.html.var files by adding the line:
    #
    #   Alias /error/include/ "/your/include/path/"
    #
    # which allows you to create your own set of files by starting with the
    # /usr/share/apache2/error/include/ files and copying them to /your/include/path/, 
    # even on a per-VirtualHost basis.  The default include files will display
    # your Apache version number and your ServerAdmin email address regardless
    # of the setting of ServerSignature.
    #
    # The internationalized error documents require mod_alias, mod_include
    # and mod_negotiation.  To activate them, uncomment the following 30 lines.

    Re: htaccess

    oops... my bad.
    in your /etc/apache2/sites-available directory you probably have a file called default. If that is the only file there can you paste that here?
    That is what I meant, the main site config, sorry bout that.

    Here it is, but there is another file there for squirrelmail. not sure if that matters, but just in case.

    Re: htaccess

    well I don't see anything for htaccess in here. which one is in sites-enabled, default or squirrelmail? if the latter than post that config.
    Otherwise where are you putting your htaccess config, etc.

    Re: htaccess

    okay. squirrelmail is what i use to view mail from my mailserver. i doubt it has anything to do with this. from what I've read, .htaccess goes in the directory you want to protect, and then .htpasswd goes in some other directory, and you point to it with .htaccess. I don't have a htaccess config file. my .htaccess file is

    Code:
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Music"
    require user willem
    AuthUserFile /var/.htpasswd
    then .htpasswd has

    my username:my encrypted password

    Re: htaccess

    I figured it out. I was editing /etc/apache2/apache2.conf when I replaced
    Code:
    AllowOverride None
    with
    Code:
    AllowOverride All
    So I changed it in /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
