.htaccess doesn't work after updating apache 1

[warn]

Hi
i have updated my apache to 1.3.19.
Now my authentications with .htaccess doesn't work.

The URL to secure is:

http://www.xyz.de/intern

The directorystructure for this URL is:
/home/user_xyz/public_html/intern
The following .htaccessfile is in /home/user_xyz/public_html/intern


AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthUserFile /home/xyz_user/public_html/intern/user.pwd
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET POST PUT>
require valid-user
</Limit>
~

The Problem:
When someone surfs to the secured page the Browser shows the correct authenticationscreen and asks for username and password. Now the httpd writes an errormessage in the httpd/errorlog: :

[Sat Jun 23 23:44:32 2001] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] test: not a valid FDN: /intern

What's the meening of: &quot;. . . is not a valid FDN&quot;

Thank's for your help

Uwe

Make sure in httpd.conf, that in the section where the main server directory is defined, make allowoverride all. This will allow for .htaccess.


Hope this helps!!!
