Any BSDians hands on with apache-2.2 webserver,

[dhaneshk k]

.htpasswd Failure .. htpasswd recreation also not working 






 I added a <Location />   for     restricting access to   my  web site URL    . I used   Basic  Authentication module..





I created      #htpasswd  -c  .htpasswd  test 



   password  :  test   


    

 

and restarted  apache .   The  path to  AuthUserFile   is   absolutely the system path no error in   that ..



but when I tried to   access    mysites  URL  it  showing the   Authentication Dialogue  ,  I entered    username  : test 




password  : test   ,   but  its not loging in ..)



I recreated the   password  many times  with  other user  names and passwords    .. but still I can't login  ..





what may be the issue ?  how can I fix the issue ?








This is the setup ....



[root at sun /usr/local/www/testblock]# ls -al
