.htaccess/.htpasswd 500 Internal Server Error
.htaccess, apache
Solution
Most likely problem is this line:
AuthUserFile /.htpasswd
This line should provide full filesystem path to the password file e.g.
AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd
To discover your filesystem path, you can create a PHP document containing
`echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];`
Problem
I'm working on blocking a folder with .htaccess, which I've never used before, and I'm having some trouble. Here's what I have .htaccess (located in the folder I want blocked): ``` AuthName "Username and password required" AuthUserFile /.htpasswd Require valid-user AuthType Basic ``` .htpasswd (located at root, password is encrypted in actual file): ``` tim:blah ``` I'm getting 500 Internal Server errors with this and I can't figure out why.
