Hi Eric,
I am trying to setup user authentication on my SUSE 9.0 box and I keep=20 running into 500 errors, or the username and password will not work in=20 the pop up window. The errors I get in the logs are: =20 [Thu Sep 09 12:00:24 2004] [error] [client 192.168.1.103] (2)No such=20 file or directory: Could not open password file: /etc/apache/.htaccess [Thu Sep 09 12:00:24 2004] [error] [client 192.168.1.103] user admin not= =20 found: /
--> Just a thought: have you check the ownership and access rights of /etc/apache/.htaccess ? On my SuSE 9.0 system, the process "httpd" runs as user "wwwrun". So=20 /etc/apache/.htaccess should be readable by user "wwwrun" and probably=20 not by anyone else (to protect from local users).
