problems with .htaccess

[Anon]

Hi,
have a problem with .htaccess. I have installed an Apache Server on Windows 2000. Now I tried to protect a directory. But when I tried to get access with a right user and password, the server denied access. In the error log of the apache server was following error message:

[Mon Jul 16 17:28:07 2001] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (2)No such file or directory: Could not open password file: c:/apache/liechtenstein/intranet/.htpasswd

And this is my .htaccess - file:

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Intranet RISCH AG"
AuthUserFile liechtenstein/intranet/.htpasswd

require valid-user

First I thought that I have to change the Directory in the httpd.conf - File of the Apache Server. But this didn´t work!

Please help me!

here's your problem as indicated by that error message

AuthUserFile liechtenstein/intranet/.htpasswd

you need to supply the full path to .htpasswd

/path/to/liechtenstein/intranet/.htpasswd
