What does PHP
have to do with .htaccess? Just focus on Apache. Maybe the
old config files are still there and confusing the new Apache.

Anyone and everyone's thoughts or knowledge would
sincerely be appreciated here... I installed Apache 2.0.40 along
with MySQL
3.23.52, PHP 4.2.2, and mod_perl-2 on SuSE 7.3. Everything seemed
to work
perfectly. But, I could not get authentication to work on Apache
2.0.40 using .htaccess files or using the directory method. I feel
like I read too much yeaterday in order to get this working. I
spent more than 10 hours looking for a reason it wouldn't work,
including reinstalling/upgrading to Apache 2.0.43 and PHP 4.2.3 (only
because PHP 2.0.43 is the latest stable release). Apache 2.0.43 made no
difference in getting authentication to work. I'm curious if
anyone has got authentication working on this release. I think
something has been changed in mod_auth. So, knowing that
authentication works using .htaccess files on Apache 1.3.x, which I
have running on Windows 2000, I decided to remove Apache 2.0.43 and PHP
4.2.3 and try Apache 1.3.27. I found that installing Apache
1.3.27 combined with PHP 4.2.3 is flawless and authentication using the
directory method works perfectly! What the f*ck!? I'd like
to kick the sh*t out of someone for distributing flawed software.
I appreciate the free software, but, for God's sake, make sure it works
so people aren't spending hours on end trying to get something to work
that won't. Clear documentation based on certain configuration
and usage objectives would be great too. The perfect instructions
I found were at the end of the Install file, but authentication using
the directory method versus the .htaccess file method is hidden.
I guess since I've been
into open-source software for less than a year I've got some lessons
to
learn...seriously. If it's my fault, which I cannot imagine since
I was able to get authentication working in just minutes using Apache
1.3.27, I retract all of the above negative statements and
apologize. If not, I think Apache owes everyone a public apology.
