Hello all, For days now I have been tryiong to configure my Apache2 server I have read the How-to and donc from apache.. but I cant get to work the directory with password protection. there is 2 config file in SuSE 9.0 for apache2... when in the directives : if I put <Directory /path_to_directory/restricted_directory> with AllowOverride AuthConfig and other config param </Directory> it does not work. but if I put <Directory /> with AllowOverride AuthConfig and other config param </Directory> it work .. when a user connect to the web page he get ask for user_name & passwd.. but that is not what I want.. I only want to protect some directory.. I have also try putting the .htpasswd & .htaccess in the directory that I want to protect but they are ignore by the server.. can anybody point me to what might be the problem..what do I need to look for in order to resolve this issue. Thanks for any help. ===== \\|// - ?
