Full path name

[Oderbang]

hi iv got apache 2 installed and running in httd.conf
AccessFileName .htaccess
AllowOverride All
this should mean the .htaccess file is working and it is

the problum im having is with the htaccess file n trying to find the full server path


contents of the .htacces file

AuthUserFile /password/.htpasswd
AuthName EnterPassword
AuthType Basic

require valid-user

iv run this script to find out what my full server path actually is

the script is:
<?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; ?>

the return from the script is
C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs

but if i change my htaccess file to

AuthUserFile C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs
AuthName EnterPassword
AuthType Basic

require valid-user


it errors out with a server error 500
so how can i find my servers full path

the server service is runing localy on this computer so i cant just "contact my host" lol as im hosting it.

<?php echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']; ?>

You did not read the documentation enough carefully.

File-path is the path to the user file. If it is not absolute (i.e., if it doesn't begin with a slash), it is treated as relative to the ServerRoot.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_auth.html#authuserfile

So is SERVER_ROOT, not DOCUMENT_ROOT. Look in your httpd.conf the value setted for that directive.

Regarding using full path, see the note about how Apache decides if a path is absolute : "f it doesn't begin with a slash". So try leaving out the drive from the path.

Apache doesn't like to see spaces in your paths. Put the path in quotes and see if that takes care of the problem.
