This 'how-to' is to explain how to use apache 2.2 with the add on
mod_authz_owner to protect a directory with htpasswd so that only the
owner of the directory can access it.
Name: Apache
HomePage: http://www.apache.org/
Function: Webserver
1. Firstly lets make a file
mkdir /var/ww/html/private
2. Now lets change it's owner and permissions
chown user1:user1 -R /var/www/html/private
chmod ug+rwx -R /var/www/html/private 
3. Make the index.html file
nano /var/www/html/private/index.html
Code.conf:
<html> <head> <title> Test Index Page <title> </head> <body> OpenSourceHowTo.Org rocks!!! And the How-To on apache 2.2, htpasswd & mod_authz_owner worked!! </body> </html> |
4. Now set a username/password the same the owner of the file
htpasswd -c /etc/httpd/conf/htpasswd user1
5. Next add the following the httpd.conf file
nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file
httpd.conf:
<Directory /var/www/html/pma>
AuthName "only pma has access"
AuthType basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/htpasswd
require file-owner
</Directory>
