This is the message I get in error log file when I try to use /etc/httpd/access.conf file with Apache 1.3.19 on SuSe Linux 7.2. Server clearly finds /etc/httpd/access.conf file and reads it contents, I get dialog box asking to enter login name and password, but after I enter correct login/password I always get 401 error saying that Authorization is required.
Content of the /etc/httpd/access.conf is also fine, since it worked fine on older version of Apache.
htaccess works fine here. You need to provide more info, such as your httpd.conf file. Have you placed an .htaccess file in the actual directories you want to protect, and loaded it with username:password pairs with the htpasswd utility?
