OK, starting from scratch this morning, here is the .htaccess file I am using which is inside of the /home/LinuxAccountName/www directory:
<Directory "/home/LinuxAccountName/www">Options NoneAuthName "UserNameIUsedToCreatePasswordWith"AuthType BasicAuthUserFile /home/LinuxAccountName/.htpasswdRequire valid-user</Directory> www above refers to the root or web directory - the lowest or first or base directory that is web accessable. And, this is the error I am getting from my httpd error log for this domain:
[Sun Apr 20 07:47:40 2008] [alert] [client 75.46.110.14] /home/LinuxAccountName/.htaccess: <Directory not allowed here
Remove the <Directory> tag.. a .htaccess file is placed inside a <Directory> tag for the folder it is in automatically..
Consequentially, your .htaccess looks like this to apache: <Directory /home/user/www> <Directory /home/user/www> ...
</Directory> </Directory>
Thanks,
OK I removed the directory tag & got a different error, now the contents of .htaccess file is this:
Options None AuthName "UserNameCreatedFor.htpasswd" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/user/.htpasswd Require valid-user
Error log for my request is here:
[Sun Apr 20 19:57:05 2008] [alert] [client 12.34.567.89] /home/user/www/.htaccess: Options not allowed here
And error I got in web browser is here:
Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
