Trying to get .htaccess work on my own server. But keep getting an Internal Server Error (500). I changed the httpd.conf (and restart apache everytime I do). this is my

the (.htaccess)

AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /var/www/passwd/passwords
require valid-user

/var/www/passwd/passwords file (change actual thing)

username:password

httpd.conf (poriton of it)

<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride AuthConfig
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I think this is the right forum. If not please move.

    • Windows 11 is unsupported? This app automatically moves important Windows 10 data to Linux

      By [deXter] · Posted

      Good effort, but unfortunately not very useful in the real world, since it doesn't support UEFI - which is a major drawback. More than that, most PCs these days have Secure Boot enabled by default, so unless you're tech savvy, the average joe is not going to disable Secure Boot - which means automated Windows > Linux migration programs like this will not work. And if you're tech savvy enough to know how to disable Secure Boot, then you're tech savvy enough to just flash a USB drive and install Linux the usual way - after all, the actual installation process is just point-and-click. So I don't see a use case here to be honest, especially considering the lack of UEFI support - especially when you consider that more and more Linux distros are completely dropping BIOS support (eg Fedora dropped it back in 2022). So this program is a bit too late to the party.
    • UK enforces strict new online age checks today

      I agree with open rights group that the age check companies should be regulated but action does need to be taken imo, they may be called irresponsible parents but the fact is that many don't know how to set up blocks. Why should kids suffer because their parents don't know something? I think the UK has always been a bit like this. We don't say healthcare is your responsibility, we tax everyone and make people register with the NHS. We also don't expect everyone to brush their teeth to maintain dental health, we just put fluoride in their water assuming people aren't brushing enough, because some probably aren't or aren't doing it properly. In general, this way of doing things works.
