.thaccess only prompting user password only once

[keak]

HI there,
I am trying to create a .htpasswd structure.
In my htaccess I have

AuthName "Members Only"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /[URL unfurl="true"]www/www.site.com/.htpasswd[/URL]
AuthGroupFile /dev/null

ErrorDocument 404 /error.html
ErrorDocument 403 /error.html
ErrorDocument 401 /error.html
Options -Indexes
require valid-user

When i log in with the right password, i can hit the member area correctly.
However, when I enter a wrong password, instead of prompting me again, it goes to a page cannot be displayed.

My other sites prompts me 3 times if a worng passowrd is entered and then the "Authorization Required" so I am kind of lost what I am doing wrong here.


Any input is much appreciated!

Get rid of the 401 ErrorDocument. If you use the wrong password, the server will return a 401 & therefore take you to /error.html (which I assume is not there - 'page can not be displayed')

Hi there,
I tried that and its still giving me the password prompt only one time and going to a page not found.
The error document is there, and when I hit after logging in, I can access that page fine.

It's been a real werid problem for us and we are kind of running out of ideas here lol ... thank thanks for that input
