I just skimmed your email, but make sure selinux isn't causing you
problems.
The .htaccess file has to have the right context or the web server
won't be able to access it.
Check to see what context it has eg: ls -lhZ
If it has a different context than the other files there it is likely
the reason for the error.
I'm running fedora, so my normal link I'd send you wouldn't be
helpful.
I'm not sure where selinux messages are stored on ubuntu servers
(/var/log/secure is where it is on fedora).
These links might be helpful :

I wanted to password protect a directory. On it's face it is
simple.
Not for me today.
Normal Steps
1) create the .htaccess in the appropriate directory and configure
it
properly.
2) create the .htpasswd file using the htpasswd command.
3) set permissions to both files to 644.
So far so good, however it did not work.
Been a few years so things have changed.
I'm on Ubuntu 22.04lts and Apache 2.
I assumed apache was automatically set to recognize the .htaccess
and it
appears to be set that way in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf.
Did not work.
So I edited the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf as I found on the Inter
Web
Thingy....
One website said to edit the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file and
replace
the Directory code with
<Directory /var/www/your_domain>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
That led to a server 500 error.
My error.log said it was .htaccess: Unknown Authz provider which
took me
into a rabbit hole.
So then I started many searches that lead me many places.....
I tried adding
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
to the default vhost :
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf
Still no success - I thought the default settings were carried
forward
to other vhosts configurations? I guess not.
Finally I added that code to the vhost I was trying to password
protect
and whala....
I an a PHP dev, however I do "mess" with the LAMP stack on occasion.
Did I miss something along the way? Seems I should have been able
to
define
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
In the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf or
/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf. Did I miss
something?
Thanks in advance!!
