sorry for the tardy reply: first, check to make sure the user that apache is running as has read permissions for /etc/httpd/passwd/.htpasswd second, you need to configure apache to know it should be looking for htaccess files in the /srv/www/htdocs directory. something like this: <Directory /srv/www/htdocs> # ... AllowOverride AuthConfig # AllowOverride All # ... </Directory> for more docs on AllowOverride, see http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#allowoverride it seems the suse way of configuring apache is by breaking the config file up into smaller pieces. from the looks of the httpd.conf file, you should look in default-server.conf Dave _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca
