Hi,

I got my own RaQ3. I made a .htaccess file with the command:
/usr/sbin/htpasswd .htpasswd -c loginname

Then i made a .htaccess:

AuthUserFile /home/sites/site2/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Realm name"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>

Im 100% sure the path and password are correct.
Then I place the .htaccess file in the dir that i want to protect. When i try to access that dir, it asks for l/p, just like it should. But then it doesnt accept my l/p. Im so sure that the l/p is right, i tried it several times, and made the .htaccess file over and over again.
Does anybody know what is wrong?

Thanks

check your access.conf and make sure that site has the lines needed for htaccess to work . its a common problem on a raq server for it to forget to add domains into the conf file.

FireFoz,

enjoy! ;)

When creating a .htaccess on a RaQ server, the username/password must be the username/password of the site. OR include the following line in your .htaccess

AuthPAM_Enabled off

and than the username/password can be anything.

That works! Thats so much, this problem took me days! :)

THAT explains the same sort of problem I was having. I couldn't figure it out, and no one else could figure it out...

Now this makes sense, finally, after weeks and weeks...

I'm having the same problem even after I set the AuthPam to 'off'. What lines are needed for htaccess to work? :(
