this file should have r bit to "www" group

Re: Authenticating Location in HTTPD
I use this config for wordpress :
authenticate "WordPress" with "/htdocs/htpasswd"
Place the htpasswd file at the root of your chroot
This file should not be served of course
Check your logs for errors if not working

Objet : Authenticating Location in HTTPD
Hello, Misc;
I'm attempting to configure authentication for a location in httpd...
server "example.com" {
listen on * port 80
root "/htdocs/example.com/"
location "/" {
authenticate with "/passwds"
}
}
However upon navigating to the designated url and entering the password I
receive the same prompt again and again. I generated the password using
htpasswd(1) and am storing it in the passwds file in the root of my chroot. Am
I missing something? Has anyone else encountered this problem? Thank you in
advance.
