AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/www/web1/web/******/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null i also had directorys limited by IP address. this does not work Either
In the ISPConfig panel, you need to set the Apache Directive for each site to allow an .htaccess file like this: Keep in mind that the paths above are Debian Etch...you may need to change the path for your system. Also, it's a good idea to keep the password file out of the web root.
well this is what i have in my httpd.conf. do i still ned to add that into the site directvies of isp? <Directory /var/www/*/web> Options +Includes -Indexes AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo Order allow,deny Allow from all <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Deny from all </Files> </Directory> i have also tried this combo <Directory /var/www/*/web> Options +Includes -Indexes #AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo #AllowOverride Indexes AuthConfig Limit FileInfo AllowOverride All Order allow,deny Allow from all <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Deny from all </Files> </Directory>
I think you need to have this: IN the .htaccess file...that way website viewers can't see the contents of the .htaccess file. When you put it in the http.conf file, I THINK that you are disabling the file. Don't hold me to this...but I think I'm right.
In your /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file you can disable/enable the global setting for using .htaccess files on your system. With these lines within /etc/apache2/apache2.conf these global settings are turned off. AccessFileName .htaccess <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files> To make the use of .htaccess files possible for that particular site, you can add the following lines in ISPConfig within the Apache directives field of the website: <Directory "/var/www/webX/web"> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory> Exactly how bschultz mentioned before. For Authentication, you can create something like this: AuthType Basic AuthName "Members Only" AuthUserFile /var/www/www.example.com/.htpasswd <limit GET PUT POST> require valid-user </limit>
