After creating a protected directory in ISPConfig 2.2.24 Web-FTP to enter my joomla administration I get an 500 Error after login to the .htaccess window. in my /var/www/web1/log/error.log i found... Code: [Sat Aug 02 15:50:57 2008] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (2)No such file or directory: Could not open password file: /var/www/web1/administrator/.htpasswd [Sat Aug 02 15:51:08 2008] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (2)No such file or directory: Could not open password file: /var/www/web1/administrator/.htpasswd [Sat Aug 02 15:51:18 2008] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] (2)No such file or directory: Could not open password file: /var/www/web1/administrator/.htpasswd The problem is that the script does not include the web directory in .htaccess After replacing manually in .htaccess Code: AuthUserFile /var/www/web1/administrator/.htpasswd to AuthUserFile /var/www/web1/web/administrator/.htpasswd everything worked perfectly
Thanks falko Maybe this happens when you change the default FTP directory ?. I changed mine to Code: DefaultRoot ~/web
