[Lurker-users] htaccess

Hello,

now my setup is working. I have lurker 2.1 running on Debian unstable.
/etc/lurker/apache.conf includes archive1/apache.conf and
archive2/apache.conf. Those alias /lurker-archiveX to
/opt/ibr/var/www/lurker/archiveX, define that directory, and set CONFIG
to /etc/lurker/archiveX/lurker.conf. The latter has dbdir of
/opt/ibr/var/lib/lurker/archiveX and frontend of
/opt/ibr/var/www/lurker/archiveX. This directory contains a copy of
/var/www/lurker. /etc/mail/aliases has lines like 'some-list:
"|/usr/bin/lurker-index -c /etc/lurker/archiveX/lurker.conf -l some-list
-m"'.

I started with creating a .htaccess file in
/opt/ibr/var/www/lurker/archiveX:

AuthType Basic
AuthName lurker
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/passwd
Require valid-user

This didn't work. My expectation was that when I try to access
https://server/lurker-archiveX/, apache should have required
authentication before serving
/opt/ibr/var/www/lurker/archiveX/index.html. But the page is served
without the browser asking anything. Why didn't it do what I wanted it
to, and how should I set that up properly?

Thanks in advance,
Baurzhan.
