htaccess file no longer works in 1.5.1

[Zepx]

I found that xampp 1.5.1, .htaccess files no longer work.... but for 1.5.0 it stills work... any idea?

[japi]

This is fixed in the new beta

But if you want you can change one word in the apache httpd.conf in your xampp/apache/conf folder.

On row 223 you should find a line

Code: Select all

AllowOverride None


Change it to

Code: Select all

AllowOverride All


and everything should work again.

Fine, then you can see that your ".htaccess" is working now. But you have an error in your ".htaccess". Please look into the "error.log".

[olsrey]

my error.log file is empty

[Wiedmann]

my error.log file is empty

Not possible.

(Every time you start/stop Apache you have an entry in the log.)

[olsrey]

just so i know where is this file as the file i found is in under apache\logs\error.log is this correct

[olsrey]

ive just reset my server and got the error again but this time there is some data in the error.log file
and this is the error line

Code: Select all

[Fri Feb 24 18:48:54 2006] [error] [client 192.168.2.1] (OS 3)The system cannot find the path specified.  : Could not open password file: C:/Program Files/Xammp/htdocs/stevie/.htpasswd

[Wiedmann]

C:/Program Files/Xammp/htdocs/stevie/.htpasswd

- This file exists?
- You have enclosed this path with quotes in the ".htaccess"?

[olsrey]

yea it exists and i did put it in the .htaccess can u write a simple .htaccess file for me incase i have written it wrong

[Wiedmann]

yea it exists

can you open a "cmd.exe" and execute following command?

Code: Select all

dir "C:\Program Files\Xammp\htdocs\stevie\.htpasswd"

can u write a simple .htaccess file for me incase i have written it wrong

It would be easier you post your existing file. Because i don't know what you want to do with your ".htaccess".


BTW:
I think you have misstyped the path in the ".htaccess".

[olsrey]

this is my .htaccess file

Code: Select all

AuthName "SUSPENDED ACCOUNT"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile "C:\\Program Files\\Xammp\\htdocs\\stevie\\.htpasswd"
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
require valid-user

[Wiedmann]

1st:
I'm missing the output from the dir command above

2nd:

Code: Select all

AuthUserFile "C:\\Program Files\\Xammp\\htdocs\\stevie\\.htpasswd"

this should be:

Code: Select all

AuthUserFile "C:/Program Files/Xammp/htdocs/stevie/.htpasswd"

[olsrey]

1st it says this about the dir
"The system cannot find the path specified."

2nd i changed that value and now it doesnt even come up with the box to enter the username and password into where as my way it did

[Wiedmann]

1st it says this about the dir
"The system cannot find the path specified."

So this is not true:

- This file exists?

yea it exists
