My .htaccess file:
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Files"
AuthUserFile /var/www/html/public/.htpasswd
Require user test.user
If I rename the .htaccess file then the site works OK. Otherwise the Beanstalk healthcheck status goes RED, and the site returns a status of 503 (status unavailable).
What's my next step to get this working?
My development machine is Windows. I use the htpasswd program that is part of the Windows XAMPP package, version 1.7.7, to generate a Windows Apache password file.
C:\xampp\apache\bin\htpasswd.exe -bc .htpasswd usename password
I need to generate a password file for a Redhat Linux machine but have no access to the htpasswd program on that machine. If I can generate a valid Linux Apache passwd on Windows then I can FTP it over to the Linux system.
The htpasswd documentation says that I can use the -d flag to force crypt() encryption which should work on Linux instead of the default MD5 encryption that works on Windows.
My problem is that
C:\xampp\apache\bin\htpasswd.exe -bcd .htpasswd usename password
generates a file but gives a message which says "Automatically using MD5 format".
How do I generate a valid Apache password file for a Linux machine from a Windows PC?
My PHP5.3 application is currently running on a Windows 2003 server running XAMPP 1.7.7 I've decided it will be better if I can get it moved onto the cloud, and Amazon Elastic Beanstalk looks like the easiest way to go. I'm starting with a 64bit Amazon Linux running PHP 5.3 container. My next step is to limit access to the website with an htpasswd file. I'd rather not use .htaccess files. How do I configure Beanstalk Apache conf file settings (on Windows the settings are stored in httpd.conf)?
