Why would Apache foul up authentication requests when the following .htaccess file is placed in my root directory:
AddType application/x-httpd-php html All users who enter any subdirectory with a .htaccess authentication requirement get a 401 error instead of the pop-up authentication request they should get (I use authmysql). The same thing happens if I try changing my Apache httpd.conf from: ErrorDocument 401 /needacct.html to ErrorDocument 401 /needacct.php Otherwise, PHP seems to be running without a hitch, doing a beautiful job as always. I've been running my same configuration for a year and a half without a problem, but I just tried doing this switch and ran into a wall. I also use the exact same .htaccess in some subdirectories without a problem -- the .html files are processed. I've been hammering at this for a day and really can't see where the error could be -- it's just too simple. I'm running: Apache/1.3.12 -- AuthMySQL/2.20 -- PHP/4.0.0 -- mod_ssl/2.6.4 -- OpenSSL/0.9.5a -- Debian kernel 2.2.16-RAID I know I should upgrade, but I've checked the various changelogs and haven't seen anything related. I've seen others with 404 redirects to PHP files, so this is most likely a problem on my end, but I'm at a loss where to look. Any suggestions? Thanks for any assist.
