Basic authentication

[zimzum88]

I am using Apache HTTP Server Version 1.3 on my win2k machine, I am having a hard time trying to get .htaccess to work I have tried all sorts of diffrent configurations and still havent been prompted for a password.
I am using name based virtual hosts to protect a sub-domain I.E. sub-domain.domain.com
I have created a .htaccess file It looks like this
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Protected"
AuthUserFile C:/

http://www/passwd/.htpasswd

Require valid-user
I have also put many diffrent directives in a <Directory> section but still no luck should I be putting the directives in my virtualhot config?
any help or suggestions or comparisons would greatly be appreciated!

Assuming you have these in your globals

AccessFileName .htaccess

<Files ~ &quot;^\.ht&quot;>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</Files>

Check your protected containers. You should have

AllowOverride All
or
Options AuthConfig

Let's see if that works.

Mayhaps you accidently restarted apache? ) Congrats
