Problem with .htaccess & .htpasswd

[MalastiC]

Good morning. I want to password protect the folder statistics XAMPP. I renamed and is now called stats.

My home directory is: opt/lampp/htdocs

I made a file: .htpasswd with this:

Code: Select all

user1:0.S9.iQIhYTWBY
user2:8vjUaROTxrEtzk

And i put in /opt/lampp/htdocs/stats

Now i made a file: .htaccess with this:

Code: Select all

AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /stats/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user

And i put in /opt/lampp/htdocs

The server say me "Error 500"

I'm doing something wrong insurance, but is not it.

A greeting,

Hi,

try using the full path for:

Code: Select all

AuthUserFile /stats/.htpasswd


Try something like:

Code: Select all

AuthUserFile /opt/lampp/htdocs/stats/.htpasswd

By the way. The .htaccess file has to reside in the directory you wish to protect.
The .htpasswd File may reside any where else.

Fine.

Just another hint:

The server say me "Error 500"

In Apaches' error_log you can find the answer for your question.
