I am writing a htaccess file for Apache 2.4.
I have in the basic config the directives "AllowOverrideAll" and "Require all granted" and I want to restrict the access to a folder.
Then I create a .htaccess file in the folder.
The file works if I set for example "Require all denied", but if I set "Require valid-user" I have a misconfiguration error.
For example, if I try the htaccess with this content
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authentication Required"
Authuserfile "/etc/htpasswd/.htpasswd"
require all denied
works ("Forbidden: You don't have permission to access /TorGuard/ on this server.")
but with this content
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authentication Required"
AuthUserfile "/etc/htpasswd/.htpasswd"
require valid-user
I have an error ("Internal Server Error: The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.")
In particular I am working on a QNAP and the htaccess is in the folder of the WEBUI of my application.

Hi I am getting error 500 on Apache webserver using xampp. The error wasnt there until i used a .htaccess, .htpasswd file. I searched and i couldnt find a syntax error. I have only 1 image and the index file I want to protect. Here are the syntaxes:
.htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Prosím přihlašte se.";
AuthUserFile C:\xampp\htdocs\Zprávy 1.E\.htpasswd
require valid-user
.htpasswd
zak:$apr1$t8hZiqXE$0qdoQ/876dOqysUmww2NM/
You have syntax error on your .htaccess file, you should quote the file path because it has space between.
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Prosím přihlašte se.";
AuthUserFile "C:\xampp\htdocs\Zprávy 1.E\.htpasswd"
require valid-user
I would like to protect the protect-me-dir directory with http password. I tried this code:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "restricted area"
AuthUserFile /home/iterator/public_html/protect-me-dir/.htpasswd
require valid-user
It works, but unfortunately it asks for the password everywhere, not just in protect-me-dir. How is it possible to protect only that directory?
If I put this code inside <Directory "/home/iterator/public_html/protect-me-dir">...</Directory>, I get Internal Server Error
Just put the .htaccess file in the directory you want to password-protect. It is a per-directory config file.
I am running latest ubuntu with apache.
I have very simple html directory I want to protect using .htaccess.
I am trying to do it with:
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/dev/docs/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
On my .htpasswd file I have:
user:pass
I get internal server error with this. I've been digging hard but not sure why this is happening.
If I add a this:
<Directory "/var/www/dev/docs">
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/dev/docs/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</Directory>
I can't login no matter what I do...
Thanks,
I have the same problem. But after a few trial and error, here's the fix.
You must use the full path to the .htpasswd file.
You must encapsulate the path with quotation marks "home/username/public_html/subfolder/protected/.htpasswd"
An example:
AuthUserFile "/home/username/public_html/subfolder/protected/.htpasswd"
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My restricted Area"
Require valid-user
Error #500 just means the web server isn't understanding something in your .htaccess file. There will be nothing in Apache's error log since the request doesn't even get parsed at this point.
Try putting quotes around the path to the .htpasswd file and note on some hosting companies like cough.. godaddy, 1&1 It may take several minutes for the changes in .htaccess to be picked up.
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthUserFile "/home/. . . . ./.htpasswd"
require valid-user
I have got same situation on Apache/2.4.6 (CentOS)
Path to htpasswd needs to be taken from $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']
Apache has some bug (https://bz.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54735), you need to set password from console like this:
htpasswd -nb username newpassw > <path-to>/.htpasswd
btw in Apache 2.4.6 on CentOS 7 problem still exists
Using wamp server with apache 2.4.4
I have a directory that I want to protect with .htaccess file:
AuthBasicProvider ldap
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authentication required "
AuthLDAPUrl "ldap://myldap:389/ou=p1,dc=dt,dc=mycompany,dc=local?uid?sub?(objectClass=*)"
AuthLDAPBindDN "cn=admin,dc=dt,dc=mycompany,dc=local"
AuthLDAPBindPassword "password"
Require valid-user
I have AllowOverride all set in httpd.conf.
I have all LoadModule directives uncommented in httpd.conf
I can successfully create connection to the ldap using Apache Directory Studio using these BindDN and password.
I can also successfully query ldap://myldap:389/ou=p1,dc=dt,dc=mycompany,dc=local?uid?sub?(objectClass=*) using Windows Explorer
EDIT:
I get the authentication window as it should be but whatever creditentials I enter I get Internal Server Error 500.
Any suggestions?
I have this .htaccess
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Protected Area"
AuthUserFile /.htpasswds/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
And a .htpassword
test:$apr1$zXAu7nnl$612DeubGZ9jDrDPB1S8VO0
the directory structure is:
/.htpasswds/.htpasswd
/public_html/.htaccess
any attempt to login give me a 500 error. In cpanel the error is not registered in error log.
I don't know exactly what is the problem, but my host provider suggests this:
In cpanel
Section security
Option Web Protect
That will generate:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Protected"
AuthUserFile "/home/abvnfj/.htpasswds/public_html/passwd"
require valid-user
if apache can not access .htpasswd, it generate Error 500.
in AuthUserFile write full path to .htpasswd file.
I've had a very similar problem with cPanel - and error 500 "internal error" upon entering the basic authentication credentials.
The problem seems to stem from cPanel putting the password file into a directory that the apache process could not access. Moving it to the root folder for the account (where the public_html directory is created) fixes the problem for me. The AuthUserFile entry in .htaccess must still point to the absolute pathname for the file, for example:
AuthUserFile "/home/myaccount/.passwd"
with the site root being in /home/myaccount/public_html/
Make sure you are using the correct absolute path in .htpaswd.
Example: for my bluehost I need
AuthUserFile /home7/<username>/public_html/...
While the FTP just gave me
/wwww/...
I had same error and I tested htpasswd with adding -p parameter which generates passwordfile as plaintext. The error was disappeared, but now I don't have any idea why default md5 passwords are causing this error.
