Well today I tried to make a directory of my WWW/Apache server
(running on Linux 2.0.8) accessible only by validated users...
As I understood by reading through the book "Running A Perfect
Web Site With Apache" I had to make an .htaccess file to that directory...
<Directory /home/httpd/html/non-public>
AuthName Protected
AuthType basic
AuthUserFile /etc/apache-paswd
<Limit GET POST>
require valid user lonewolf
</Limit>
</Directory>
All I got is "Server Error" and in the error.log "[Sat Aug 3
12:33:41 1996] access to /home/httpd/html/non-public/.htaccess failed for
wolfnest.linux-net.gr, reason: <Directory not allowed here
Any help appreciated on HOE to do it or point me to a HOWTO or
Documentation (not in PS please)
