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
