Apache 2.0.36 and authentication => PROB

[Anon]

Hi !

When my server was running under Apache 1.3.xx, my authentications
(.htaccess and .pwd files) worked very fine. Since I moved to Apache
2.0.36, they don't work anymore. I set AllowOverride (in httpd.conf)
to all, and the only thing it did was to hide directory from listing.
When I try to access them manually (http://localhost/1/2/3/directory
(directory is the protected directory) I get a 401 error, but no
prompt window. What's the prob ???

Thanks

Any idea ???

In my configuration file, I had :
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php3 .php4 .phtml
Every PHP page worked perfectly, but when I tried to open protected
directories, I had no authentication window, only a 401 error.

Presently, I have :
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3
Every PHP (.php3) page works perfectly and authentications are ok.

So, why with more than one extension for php I have authentication problems ??
