Re: Permission Issue

[root@mail conf]# ls -la users
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root           20 Mar 25 17:02 users  (my 
password file)

Contents:
admin:kqdzpJWd9n8QI

my .htaccess in /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/vqadmin/:

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/conf/users
AuthName vQadmin
require valid-user
satisfy any

root@mail conf]# ls -la ../cgi-bin/vqadmin/.htaccess
-rw-r--r--    1 nobody   root          105 Mar 25 16:59 
../cgi-bin/vqadmin/.htaccess

make sure it is owned by your apache user.  Mine is nobody (standard).
