Problem with .htaccess on Mac OS X

[austin26]

Hi,

I have already searched several forums and have made several posts, but so far nobody could help me with my problem. I have tried several times the files .Htaccess and.Htusers checked and it is described as everything in it, as in all manuals.

According to the error_log the password to user is not correct. For this reason, I have created several users, and also tested different types of passwords. A user has an unencrypted password, another user has encrypted using md5 and over again is the same error in the error_log. Who can solve my .htaccess in Mac OS X.

Someone has already had experience this?

The Apache web server allows either encrypted passwords (for Windows), or encoded by the methods Crypt or MD5 (all platforms including Windows). On the side of the citation, you also find a little form to allow encrypt a "test password" via Crypt.

Instead of using the XAMPP for OSX, you try with a well-functioning Apache server, which, incidentally, never made problems. And even if one does not want MAMP is still a better solution:

All this would be much easier than this ominous problem to debug, to which we NetSprint is not even the actual error message or views an information of "httpd-t" (of course, the XAMPP and not OSX) or 'httpd-e debug. "

You just try the following things:

. htaccess file

AuthName "Enter your password ... blah" 
AuthType Basic 
AuthUserFile / path-to-htusers / 
Order deny, allow 
Allow from all <- If it is to be achieved from all networks 
<Limit GET> 
require valid-user 
</ Limit> 
php_flag register_globals off

If you are using XAMPP, then you can look at what the encryption is concerned (md5 checksum) to output board means with: (see Besp)

- / Lampp / bin / htpasswd-n-m user 
- Enter password and confirm (in this Example is the password: password

)

Issue:

user: $ apr1 $ 89UE3TaW $ rxTzMfa6P5gNBeRyLcaGW0

Copy the Htuser file and then it should go really well alread
