http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21533 Apache may crash with digest authentication if sub-DocumentRoot .htaccess files override DocumentRoot .htaccess file's "Require valid-user" directive with "Require group testgroup" and the authenticated username is not listed as a member of the "testgroup" group ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-08-09 07:48 ------- Hello Kurt! Glad that someone else has encountered the same thing. Well, sort of. :-) The reason for mod_autoindex to look for .htaccess files in subdirectories is to exclude those subdirectories from the directory listing if the user isn't allowed access to them; a pretty nice feature. I have also noticed the "access failed" error messages in the error log, and they are somewhat annoying, although perhaps necessary to make things simple. Basic authentication (instead of digest authentication) seems to work fine, though, without any crashes and with the intended functionality. That's my temporary solution until this bug gets fixed.
