I am trying to set up user-based access to smokeping on a system with the following characteristics:<div><br></div><div>2.6.32-39-generic Linux Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS \n \l</div><div>apache2 2.2.14-5ubuntu8</div><div>smokeping 2.3.6-5</div>
<div><br></div><div>I have modified /etc/apache2/conf.d/smokeping as folllows...and restarted apache and smokeping.</div><div><br></div><div><div>ScriptAlias /smokeping/smokeping.cgi /usr/share/smokeping/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi</div>
<div>Alias /smokeping /usr/share/smokeping/www</div><div><br></div><div><Directory "/usr/share/smokeping/www"></div><div> Options FollowSymLinks</div><div> AllowOverride AuthConfig</div><div> AuthType Basic</div>
<div> AuthName "Password Required"</div><div> AuthUserFile /etc/passwd</div><div></Directory></div></div><div><br></div><div>However, when I go to <a href="http://servername/smokeping">http://servername/smokeping</a>, I am taken directly to the smokeping home page.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I then added an .htaccess file to:</div><div><br></div><div>/usr/share/smokeping/cgi-bin...the location of smokeping.cgi.</div><div><br></div><div>/usr/share/smokeping/www, the Alias referenced in /etc/apache2/conf.d/smokeping.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The .htaccess file contains:</div><div><br></div><div><div>AuthType Basic</div><div>AuthName "Password Required"</div><div>AuthUserFile /etc/passwd</div></div><div><br></div><div>Even with these .htaccess files, I still am not prompted for a username and password. I would like to specify a specific local user, but any local username would be sufficient.</div>
<div><br></div><div>What do I need to do to get this working?</div><div><br></div><div><br></div>
