Bugzilla Bug 123746

in unstable ebuild of apache-2.2.0, simple file-based authentication is not
working:

<Directory "/var/www/www/htdocs/authfile">
  Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
  AllowOverride None
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Restricted Access"
  AuthUserFile "/var/www/users"
  AuthGroupFile "/var/www/groups"
  Order Deny,Allow
  Deny from all
  Require valid-user
  Satisfy any
</Directory>

[Wed Feb 22 16:05:58 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] access to /authfile/
failed, reason: require directives present and no Authoritative handler.

This simple configuration example works in apache from built from source using
default configuration (./configure && make && make install).

Please don't unnecessarily restrict bugs.

I am unable to reproduce this.

Go to the page http://localhost/server-info on your server and paste the output
from the Loaded Modules section at the top. It should look similar to this:
