        AuthType Basic

    </Directory>
    ProxyPassMatch ^/(.*\.php)$ fcgi://127.0.0.1:9000/data/www/sites/default/public/$1
</VirtualHost>

I can get the info to input the user and password,but always can not be virified.I am sure the password is correct and the htpassswd file are not in the document root folder.

How can i resolve this problem?

Answer 1

Are you sure your Apache user (www-data?) can access the user file? Also, you can drop the AuthBasicProvider line.
