[SOLVED] .htpasswd on virtual host

[Goldbarry]

Hi Guys

i am running into some problem with .htpasswd on virtual host apache 2.2.3

here is vitrual hosts


ServerName www.site.com
ProxyPass / http://localhost:70/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:70/


I can't find syntax for implementing
AuthUserFile
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName
AuthType Basic

hope somebody knows how it can be done

thank you

The context for AuthUserFile and related directives is and .htaccess. My only suggestion to attempt basic auth is:
[code]<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.site.com
ProxyPass / http://localhost:70/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:70/
<Directory />
AuthUserFile ...
AuthName ...
AuthType Basic
require valid-user # or require user ...
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>[/code]

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_proxy.html says you can use:
[code]<Proxy *>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 192.168.0
</Proxy>[/code]
to limit by IP. That's probably your best shot if basic auth doesn't work.

Hi Logan

Thank for your reply

however when i use your suggested config, pop up for user/password doesn't come up


yesterday i was able to make that pop window come up but server could't authenticate user/password provided in the .htpasswd file and the password was changed to be super simple

This is the config on which i have pop up for user/password however is a i said can't get in anyway


ServerName www.site.com

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authentication Required"
AuthUserFile "/location to the /.htpasswd"
Require valid-user
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all


ProxyPass / http://localhost:7001/
ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:7001/




here is the error_log

i think problem in browser.
try 2 clean cache,cookies...try another browser...or try to reinstall mod_auth...

It looks like you combined the and directives and I don't know if you can do that. I've never done any proxy stuff with Apache... The proxy documentation only has examples with IP-based restrictions, but it also links to [url=http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_authz_host.html]mod_authz_host[/url] which talks about using password authentication. If a isn't working, maybe you can try a instead.
