[gentoo-user] apache configuration woes

[Michael Higgins]

Since upgrading one of my servers, I've been getting the standard HTACCESS "password required" dialogue. I didn't choose this consciously and I don't want it. The whole machine is not visible to the 'net.

Where did this get enabled? I'm desperately needing to use one of the applications on the machine that requires I be able to access the files.

Thanks for any quick reply.

Well, removing every and all module references with 'auth*' revealed an error with an .htaccess file -- apparently either newly dropped into my htdocs folder (doubtful) or suddenly enabled by one of the directives. Either way, it seems like this should have been optional in the upgrade, somehow.

But I can get to my files, it seems. 

Cheers,

the names of the modules changed, so perhaps they were merged with
httpd.conf erroneously becuase they were named differently.
