Search for:

<Directory /var/www/http>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Require all granted
</Directory>
and change None to All.
You can, for testing purposes only ( !!!), put your .htpasswd file in the COPS directory and reference it with ./.htpasswd in .htaccess. |
Thanks for your reply.
I made the change above in my httpd.conf file and restarted the service, but I can still log in directly without the prompt.
If I change the path in .htaccess to ./.htpasswd, when I log in I get a 500 Internal Server error. Changing the path to anything else where the .htpasswd file is located doesn't present the error, but also doesn't prompt me for the login.
