.htaccess

I have an HTACCESS as follows:

AuthUserFile /home/nasht00/.htmydomain
AuthName "EnterPassword"
AuthType Basic
Require valid-user

When I try it, the password pop-up appears. Whatever I enter in it, I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

My password file is under /home/nasht00/.htmydomain . Its owner is nasht00:www-data (nasht00 is my user, www-data is the group that apache2 belongs to). File permissions on that file is 775.

What am I missing?

If I try without the htaccess it works fine of course.

I have Ubuntu 9.10 with apache2.

This domain was working this morning, now I get a 403 error and the message above in my error log. I'm not using .htaccess files but I have been doing some copy on the server so may have messed things up but no changes to this domain (unless by accident!). What is this pcfg_openfile thing anyway? Done… >>> More
