Yes ... I have the same problem - I installed Apache 1.3.31 but in my
case under Windows Everything except restricting access works ;(

These are my logfiles:

Access:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx - testuser [01/Sep/2004:17:08:36 +0200] "GET
/aaa/index.php HTTP/1.1" 401 482

Error:
[Wed Sep 01 17:08:36 2004] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] user
testuser: authentication failure for "/aaa/index.php": password mismatch

In my httpd.conf I have the followin code:

<Directory (...)/Apache/htdocs/aaa>
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "By Invitation Only!"
  AuthUserFile "(...)/Apache/.htpasswd"
  Satisfy All
  Require user testuser
</Directory>

I generated my password file at least 4 times... still doesn't work.

Do you have any suggestions??

The password is wrong or you generated it with the wrong program

How?

With this tool:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.euronet.nl/~arnow/htpasswd/" target="_blank">http://www.euronet.nl/~arnow/htpasswd/</a>

using this tutorial:
<a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://wsabstract.com/howto/htaccess.shtml" target="_blank">http://wsabstract.com/howto/htaccess.shtml</a>

I found this kind of generator on some other website and it's all the
same. Yep, I think the easiest way will be using some nice, advanced PHP
script. Thanks anyway.

Naw, the _correct_ way is to use the htpasswd tool that is shipped with
Apache itself. If apache can't understand the password that is written
in the password file there are different possibilities: he is using the
wrong authentication scheme (he espect password encrypted with encryption
X while they are encrypted with encryption Z) or the password file have
been created with the wrong tool.

Wow, I didn't know that this tool is included in Apache. I've spend
(and waisted) a lot of time searching for some kind of generator. Now it
works very well without any problems. Thanks for help!!
