Would it be possible to have the {HTTP_HOST} variable in this path?
Because my htaccess is used for multiple domains and I want to use different passwords for each domain!
AuthUserFile /usr/test/{HTTP_HOST}/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Files"
Require valid-user
UPDATE:
I tested the above code and it gives a 500 Internal Server Error (off course the AuthUserFile points to a directory that DOES exist on my server)

I'm trying to temporarily password protect my Heorku app with the .htaccess and .htpasswrd files in the root of the app.
I'm getting a 'Internal Server Error' with the following codes and can't figure out where I'm going wrong
.htaccess
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Access"
Require valid-user
.htpasswrd (MD5 encrypted)
rob:$apr1$MRsSwhFN$buG0YTSOezeY8YJ32LXnT1
Looks like your path is off.
As of July 2016, some subtle changes are necessary on heroku-php-apache2. Please note that the path to the .htpasswd file no longer contains the www directory and that the .htpasswd file should be in the webroot as well.
Create an .htaccess file in the webroot:
AuthUserFile /app/.htpasswd
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Access"
Require valid-user
Create a .htpasswd file, also in the webroot:
htpasswd -c .htpasswd [username]
Commit local changes. Deploy to Heroku.

I have the following code in my .htaccess file
AuthUserFile ./.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Dev Area One"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
This causes a 500 internal server error because Apache says it can't find the file /etc/apache2/.htpasswd. That's because the .htpasswd is in the directory /var/www/html/dev1.staging.com/public_html/.htpasswd and my .htaccess is in /var/www/html/dev1.staging.com/public_html/.htaccess.
Can I replace AuthUserFile ./.htpasswd with AuthUserFile SOMEVARIABLE+.htpasswd so that every time other team members do a git pull origin master to their dev servers, the .htaccess will properly reference the .htpasswd which should be in the same directory as the .htaccess?
This is purely for development purposes only. There are some servers (some of which are shared hosting) where we do not have file writing access to, so we don't know immediately what directory our web projects are served out of, so we don't know ahead of time the absolute directory path to the .htpasswd.
You can use shell environment variable in path to AuthUserFile by using PassEnv directive:
PassEnv HOME
AuthUserFile ${HOME}/.htpasswd
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Dev Area One"
AuthType Basic
<Limit GET>
require valid-user
</Limit>
Above snippet will work only if each user stores .htpasswd directly under $HOME directory.
I have the following code to protect my application:
.htaccess:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Protected Area"
AuthUserFile .htpasswd
Require valid-user
.htpasswd:
username:$apr1$Am/5PMEt$JofEYwKBM8rhEnsoLndir/
The .htpasswd file is in the same directory as the .htaccess file.
It does ask me for authentication, but then gives me a 500 server error. I just used this tool, so I am wondering what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks!
Try changing the .htpasswd to use the full path starting from / and using this tool instead: http://www.askapache.com/online-tools/htpasswd-generator/
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Protected Area"
AuthUserFile /var/www/public_html/full/path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
Satisfy All
Otherwise it sounds like the error is being caused by some other issue. Likely 1 of 2:
The permissions on the .htaccess or .htpasswd file are bad
There is some other error like a rewrite or something in a .htaccess or php error
You need to cause this error to happen again, and then view your /var/log/httpd/error_log file (or named something similar) which will tell you the reason for the 500 error.
Hi I have the following in a .htaccess file:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "restricted area"
AuthUserFile /web/clients/.htpasswd
require valid-user
this works in making the directory private, however I get a 403 error and no password/user pop up appears to even give me the chance? Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong, both htaccess and htpasswd are together in the directory I want to protect.
Thanks
I push my website to multiple servers where I have different usernames. I want to have a .htaccess file that password protects a file regardless of which server I'm on.
The issue is that AuthUserFile only takes absolute paths, so if I have:
AuthUserFile /home/will/.htpasswd
I get a server error on a box where my username is wjholcomb (and home directory is /home/wjholcomb/).
.htaccess can have multiple AuthUserFile lines:
AuthUserFile /home/will/.htpasswd
AuthUserFile /home/wjholcomb/.htpasswd
