• Debian 11 has reached its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.81 is the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Protected directories - Apache tries to read wrong .htaccess

Hi!

On a quite new server (Suse 9.3, Plesk 7.5.4) I have a problem with protected directories. All hints from other threads did not show a solution.

The directory is protected using the Plesk interface.

Plesk stores the user credentials in a special file under /pd of the domain directory and adds an appropriate record to httpd.include under /conf.

So far, everything is there.

BUT:

Apache does not seem to recognize the section in httpd.include properly.

[crit] [client 84.44.179.200] (13)Permission denied: /home/httpd/vhosts/xxxxxx.xx/httpdocs/cgiproxy/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable.

Apache tries to access .htaccess which it expects in the protected directory.

The entry AuthUserFile in httpd.include pointing to /pd/d..cgiproxy is obviously ignored.

The problem persists independed of the setting of custom error documents.

Any explanation for the behaviour of Apache under Plesk?

Bye,

Andreas
