[cobalt-users] RaQ4 htaccess problem after migrating

["Andy Brown" <andy.brown@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,
I've just finished a RaQ3 to RaQ4 migration and it mainly went without a hitch, however i've found that when going to previously .htaccess protected directories, I now get:

'An error occured while loading http://www.blah.com/secure/
Connection to host www.blah.com is broken' (Thats Konqueror)

The htaccess files look fine, 755 perms, directory with 755 also, and if i move the .htaccess file the dir works fine.
Strange thing is that it doesn't happen to ALL the sites on the RaQ4!

htaccess file:

AuthName "Secure Area"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST>
require user admin
</Limit>

Which has worked fine in the past.
I went into /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf and set:
<Directory /home/sites/>
Options All
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
(thats the cut down version, its in the right place!)
I also tried taking out the rewrite rules in apache out in case it was to do with that but still getting a failure.
Logs show nothing interesting:

www.blah.com 191.111.111.111 - - [25/Oct/2002:09:33:22 +0100] "GET /setup/ HTTP/1.1" 401 - "-" "Mozilla/4.7 [, en_GB] (Win95; U)"

And errorlog doesn't show anything. 401 is the right status code for authentication, but it just doesn't do it!!

Help..... please!!! I thought I new most of the Apache foibles, but apparently its got me flummoxed this time!

Regards,

Andy
