What of this bug? I'll try to look and disable that, but my web research found no mention of anything too out of the ordinary.
I don't remember the locataion where I found this information. I entered the error message into Google and found this solution. This bug had me also running around fore some time, until I found that webpage.
I thought I'd check things out on my local set-up. And, it works!
But, I did seem to replicate something similar to what you've been experiencing when the path to .htpasswd was incorrect, e.g. AuthUserFile /home/user-id/development/.htpasswd prompted for password but failed because I hadn't specified the correct full path to the directory being protected (/home/user-id/public_html/development). BTW, I used the default httpd.conf file.
I think you are correct. That was the reason I was looking for faults at the wrong places. When I checked, re-checked, double checked and re-double checked all config files and it still was not working, I turned to Google. Regards, Cees.
