.htaccess .htpasswd

I am having a problem with the password protection on a site I am
developing. The address is as follows:

http://82.29.217.118/careergrad/index.html

The private page I am trying to access is:

http://82.29.217.118/careergrad/private/index.html

username: test
password: test123

"htpasswd -cp .htpasswd test" is the command I used to create the test
user so I could check the .htpasswd file to make sure that the password
that I entered was correct.

The problem is that even though the password and username are entered
correctly it keeps asking me for the password again.

..htaccess file as follows:

AuthUserFile /var/www/html/careerGrad/private
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "CareerGrad Members Area"
AuthType Basic

require valid-user

Any help that could be offered would be most appreciated.

Oops ... plaintext won't work for 'Apache/2.2.0 (Fedora)':
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/programs/htpasswd.html
"-p Use plaintext passwords. Though htpasswd will support creation on all
platforms, the httpd daemon will only accept plain text passwords on
Windows, Netware and TPF."

Use -m if you want to use the .htpasswrd on Windows too.

Should end with the file created by htpasswd, given the above:'.htpasswd'

> AuthGroupFile /dev/null
Just skip or comment the directive

> AuthName "CareerGrad Members Area"
> AuthType Basic
> require valid-user

Thanks for the help HansH,

I have made the changes you recommended but the problem still persists.

Do you have any further thoughts as to what the problem could be?

Thanks again

-Mike

What changes do I need to make?

I haven't had this problem before.

up so badly...... Sorry about that

No worries, I did think it a strange reply.

That is what happens when I get to many windows opened at the same time.
I will be much more careful in the future before pressing that send
button :) Again I am sorry for the confusion that it created.

Mike, I reread your original post and have a few ideas.

I do not believe that you can use plain text passwords. I see someone
else mentioned that already. What I did not see was nobody mentioned
that there is no file name to look for.

You said that you used the htpasswd -c .htpasswd test which is fine,,
but in you .htaccess file you have the following

AuthUserFile /var/www/html/careerGrad/private
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "CareerGrad Members Area"
AuthType Basic

require valid-user

I believe the solution to your problem should be corrected by modifying
the following line with .htpasswd to the end such as the line below

AuthUserFile /var/www/html/careerGrad/private/.htpasswd


yes I think it is just that simple

As I said, don't worry about it. :)

I don't suppose you have any idea how to resolve my issue do you?
