Re: Using authentication under Apache for Cygwin

authentication at all?
yes it does (or did ;) at least for a considerable time. I don't think
this is a Cygwin or Apache for Cygwin specific problem. I suggest it's
more to a mis-configuration.
I would tend to agree except this config worked with Apache for Windows.
Did you try to have standard Basic HTTP Auth on a "fresh" httpd.conf
that comes from the distribution itself?
Good idea. Tried it. Didn't work:
$ net stop apache
The Cygwin Apache service is stopping........
The Cygwin Apache service was stopped successfully.
$ cd /etc/apache
$ mv httpd.conf httpd.conf.save
$ cp ../apache.new/httpd.conf httpd.conf
$ cp -rp ~/www/Internal/Release/addbug /var/www/htdocs
$ ll /var/www/htdocs/addbug

I had to add ExecCGI and index.cgi to httpd.conf but that's all I
changed. When I went to "addbug" again it let me in there without any
authentication. Nothing to report in the log files.
Perhaps we should take this offline...

Ever stop to think, and forget to start again?
