>Number: 2683 >Category: os-windows >Synopsis: Apache 1.3.1 totally ignores the existence of .htaccess files >Confidential: no >Severity: critical >Priority: medium >Responsible: apache >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: apache >Arrival-Date: Thu Jul 23 17:40:01 PDT 1998 >Last-Modified: >Originator: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Organization: apache >Release: 1.3.1 win32 >Environment: Windows 98 1.3.1 win32 Installed from installer file. >Description: I just upgraded from apache 1.3b7 to 1.3.1 and now my htaccess files are totally ignored. Apache gives access to the directory and all files within it without any sort of authentication window or dialogue. It is like there isn't even an htaccess file there. My old version 1.3b7 had no problems recognizing the existence of an htaccess file. It would pop up the Authentication window like normal. >How-To-Repeat: Be sure to be using Win98 Upgrade to apache 1.3.1 Place a .htaccess file in your htdocs directory.
This is the text in my htaccess file: AuthType Basic AuthName "Secured Site" AuthUserFile .htpasswd AuthGroupFile /dev/null <Limit GET POST> require user someuser </Limit> Now just type in http://your_address_here.com/ and it will let you in without an authentication window. You can place the .htaccess file wherever you want in whatever directory you want and the same thing will happen when you go to it. >Fix: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: [In order for any reply to be added to the PR database, ] [you need to include <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in the Cc line ] [and leave the subject line UNCHANGED.
