about .htpasswd question thanks

[melnet]

hi
in the /home/peter folder, i typed a command:

htpasswd -c .htpasswd tom

then i typed a two passwords.
in the /home/peter/public_html, i created a abc folder.
then in the abc folder, i created .htaccess
the code is:

AuthUserFile /home/peter/.htpasswd
AuthName "Private Directory"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

i browsed a link,

http://www.xxx.com/~peter/abc

and pop up the htpasswd box. However, after i typed the login and passwd, they didn't match, maybe wrong login or passwd. but i confrim the a/c is right.
anyone help me where problem is or i set some config again?
thanks for help.....

Hi,

Try modifying your .htaccess file like so:

AuthUserFile /home/peter/.htpasswd
AuthName "Private Directory"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

<Limit GET POST>
require user theusername
</Limit>

AuthName &quot;Private Directory&quot;
AuthType Basic
require valid-user

Look at your httpd.conf or access.conf in your httpd/conf/ directory and be sure that you have the:

AllowOverride All (rather than None) set

See this description from one of my access.conf files>>


# This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can
# override. Can also be &quot;All&quot;, or any combination of &quot;Options&quot;, &quot;FileInfo&quot;,
# &quot;AuthConfig&quot;, and &quot;Limit&quot;

AllowOverride All


Good Luck,
Laurie.
