i have a ".htaccess" question.
i use ".htaccess" files on my apache server to light-security password
protect certain areas.
i have some sub-domains (subdomain.example.com) that are entirely
protected, from their "home" level and then just some random folders in
various places throughout these sites that are protected.
i have approximately ten sub-domains that are configured on apache and
with my DNS server that are live, but not currently used. there is one
file in each (index.html) that is an info page, but nothing else.
I have approximately four sub-domains and my mail domain (example.com)
that are live and used actively.
a few days ago, i put some folders and files into one of the
sub-domains that was previously empty (save the "index.html"). i wanted
to require authentication for this sub-domain. so, i copied one of the
".htaccess" files from a sub-domain that used one (where it worked) and
pasted into this sub-domain's directory.
well, it doesn't work here. meaning, it doesn't require authentication.
it goes directory to "index.html."
i have tried EVERYTHING to debug this and figure out why it isn't
requiring authentication here, when the same file does elsewhere. i
have looked and looked and looked and am totally stumped. i have been
over and over my "httpd.conf" and everything looks good. the set up
(options and stuff) are COMPLETELY the same for the sub-domain where
".htaccess" works as the one where it doesn't.
NOTE: my ".htpasswd" files are named ".htpasswd.sub-domain"
(respectively) and are in a folder called ".htpasswd" one level before
the sub-domain's root folder.
does anyone have any ideas? i am completely baffled.
