Subject: [cobalt-users] Qube3 .htaccess ignored on home/users/admin/web


Hello all,

I've created an .htaccess file, that works perfectly for my
home/groups/home/web directories.  If I use the url of:
https://www.mydomain.com/protected/index.php  I get prompted for the
user/password for my realm.

When I place the same file in the home/users/admin/web directory, for
some reason it's ignored.

I tried stopping at starting the httpd service, but no luck.

I am using the url of:  https://www.mydomain.com:81/protected/index.php

The only difference, of course, is the port, but shouldn't it still
prompt me for a password?  I have tried this on a computer that was
never used to connect to the URL, so I know it's not caching the
username and password.

My .htaccess file is:

	AuthUserFile /somewhere/.htpasswd
	AuthGroupFile /dev/null
	AuthName myprocess
	AuthType Basic

	Require user myuser


Can anyone give me some pointers?
--------------------
It's probably caused by the port number. Who's (what web server) is
listening on port 81? Generally that's your admserv http server. Have
you tried it without specifing port 81? Remember, the URI
/protected/index.php
will be expected to be in the DocumentRoot of whichever server is listening
to port 81. What sort of error message are you getting when you try to use
the URL? Is your admserv httpd server running?

Does the setting of AllowOverride (not sure which .conf it may
be in) permit the use of an .htaccess file for that particular
directory?
