combine with .htpasswd ?

benjaminfrombe opened this issue · 3 comments

Hi,

I would like to combine apacy with basic authentication.

When I try to add:

AuthName "secure"
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user

I get a server error ...

Any idea how to solve this ?

thank you,

Edd--

I guess apache cannot find your .htpasswd file. The path has to be absolute and not relative. So instead of AuthUserFile .htpasswd try something like AuthUserFile /var/www/html/mydir/.htpasswd

I managed to use apaxy in combination with an .htpasswd file. There is no conflict between them.

So there should be a solution to your problem. @edd--, have you tried @nicozimmermann94 solution?

As there is no answer from @edd--, I will soon close the issue.
