[cobalt-users] apache and/or admserv doesnt read htaccess files

[Kim Schulz <kim@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi
I have been looking through the archive to find an answer for this, but
none of the suggested things has helped me.
My problem is that when I try to contact the admin gui (admserv) at
http://domain/admin then I get the ssl certificate popup as I was
supposed to. After saying ok to this (and expect to get an input box
asking for login/password) I get "site returned zero sized reply" in my
browser.
I suspect that this is because the apacheserver doesnt read the
.htaccess files correctly? 
this is what my adm_access logfile says:
erlang.gbar.dtu.dk - - [16/Jan/2003:23:57:34 +0100] "GET
/.cobalt/siteManage/www.tec.dk/ HTTP/1.1" 401 -
erlang.gbar.dtu.dk - - [16/Jan/2003:23:57:35 +0100] "GET
/.cobalt/siteManage/www.tec.dk/ HTTP/1.1" 401 -
erlang.gbar.dtu.dk - - [16/Jan/2003:23:57:35 +0100] "GET
/.cobalt/siteManage/www.tec.dk/ HTTP/1.1" 401 -
erlang.gbar.dtu.dk - - [16/Jan/2003:23:57:35 +0100] "GET
/.cobalt/siteManage/www.tec.dk/ HTTP/1.1" 401 -
erlang.gbar.dtu.dk - - [16/Jan/2003:23:57:35 +0100] "GET
/.cobalt/siteManage/www.tec.dk/ HTTP/1.1" 401 -

401 = no access for the user. 


in both my httpd.conf files (apache and admserv) I have(apache):

<Directory />
Options None
AllowOverride None
AuthFailDelay 2000000
</Directory>

<Directory /home/sites/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews

AllowOverride All

<Files ".ht*">
deny from all
</Files>

order allow,deny
allow from all

AuthFailDelay 2000000
</Directory>


and (admserv):

<Directory /usr/admserv/html>
Options -Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch MultiViews
AllowOverride Limit AuthConfig
order allow,deny
allow from all
AuthFailDelay 1000000
</Directory>


<Directory /usr/admserv/cgi-bin>
AllowOverride AuthConfig Limit
Options None
AuthFailDelay 1000000
</Directory>

<Directory "!^(/home|/usr/admserv)">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
AuthFailDelay 1000000
</Directory>
                                                                        
                                                                        

any ideas?
