basic authentication

Hi

During website development and due to legal requirements from mastercard we need to password protect the site until compliance approval.

I there followed the how to here: http://wiki.bitnami.com/Components/Apache#How_t….3f

but can’t manage to have it works. While the password is asked to enter the site at http://globalsecurepayment.eu (user:test pw:testme) any call on subsites i.e http://globalsecurepayment.eu/merchant/ will produce a 404 file not found error.

Without the basic authentication all sites exist and are accessible.

my wordpress.conf looks like this:
Alias /wordpress/ “/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/”
Alias /wordpress “/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs”

<Directory “/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs”>
AuthType Basic
AuthName wordpress
AuthUserFile “/opt/bitnami/apache2/wordpress”
Require valid-user

I didn’t change anything on the httpd.conf file except:

DocumentRoot “/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs”

<Directory “/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs”>

I love the bitnami concept and run the instance on EC2 with no issues at all until now.

Thank you in advance for your help

Hi,

Take a look at http://wiki.bitnami.com/Applications/BitNami_Wo… It is necessary to add the following line in the httpd.conf file:

<Directory "/opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs">
    ...
    AllowOverride All
    ...
</Directory>

thank you very much, muchas gracias! This solved my problem.

You should consider accepting donations, I for sure would make one.

Thanks :) We really appreciate it! It would be great if you publish a comment about BitNami in your blog, twitter or facebook :)
