Hello All,
Configure protected directories in Apache - Task Failed
Would like to know reason for failing on this
A Screenshot would have been more helpful. Anyways i will try to guide you with the steps.
- Creating directory is simple
- Adding user:
htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/.htpasswd - Create basic .htaccess file
cat /var/www/html/itadmin/.htaccess <----------- itadmin is the new directory created
AuthType Basic
AuthName “Restricted Content”
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/.htpasswd
Require valid-user - Update the httpd configuration file with this entry
cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
<Directory “/var/www/html/itadmin”> <--------- itadmin is the new directory name
AllowOverride AuthConfig
- Scp /tmp/index.html file from jumpbox to app server (/var/www/html/itadmin/index.html).
- Restart httpd service
- Test connectivity
curl -u yousuf:GyQkFRVNr3 http://stapp01:8080/itadmin/
where yousuf is the new user created followed by password
Hope this helps.

Hey Nagesh,
Please share your httpd.conf file and also the error screenshot. The screenshot shared will not give any clues. There are multiples things to be checked as i have updated you above.
You need to share all your steps screenshot along with the error you are getting.

Nagesh,
There is no single link or document I referred, I just googled and referred multiple places and tried to put the solution as per questions asked.
Either admin or Inderpreet may check ur work log and see what wrong you did.
