[cobalt-users] configure httpd authentication for /web/stats directory

["Fradley" <fastback72@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to allow a site user (other than the site administrator) access
to the /web/stats directory however my efforts have proven unsuccessful.
Followed the documentation at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/auth.html but still no luck.

This is what I have done.

1. Created a password file called /home/sites/site8/users/passwords using
command:
   htpasswd -c /home/sites/site8/users/passwords username
The passwords file was created successfully

2. Created a password for username using commands:
htpasswd -c /home/sites/site8/users/passwords tcstats
        New password: mypassword
        Re-type new password: mypassword
        Adding password for user username

3. Added the following to the /etc/httpd/conf/access.conf file:
<Directory /home/sites/site8/web/stats>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /home/sites/site8/users/passwords
require user tcstats
</Directory>

4. Restarted using the command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart

After all this it still only allows the site administrator access to the
/web/stats directory... does anyone have any ideas why this does not work
for me?

Thanks.
