.htaccess file gives 500 Internal Server Error when I added 'directory' option

htaccess file content;

#RewriteEngine On
#ErrorDocument 404 ./404.php

AuthType Basic
AuthName "Authentication Required"
AuthUserFile "/etc/htpasswd/.htpasswd"
Require valid-user

I am trying to accesable sub-folder (and pages under subfolder), and I added a .htaccess file into my subfolder and its content like that;

  Satisfy Any
  Allow from all

Also in httpd.conf file I have;

<Directory /var/www/html/mysub/>
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Now currently when I try to access folders, they have basic auth. and it is okay, but when I try to access 'mysub' folder, it gives 500 Internal server error. why it is happenning ? Thank you

Solution

  • Here is how I solved it;

    create a new .htaccess file in that subdirectory that contains this:

    Satisfy any

    To do this in the main Apache configuration using :

    <Directory /var/www/mysite/mysubfolder>
Satisfy any
</Directory>

    Thanks..
