http auth set to 0 but still prompting

Posted: Thu Nov 23, 2006 5:38 pm

I am truely flummoxed here people and yes i have read many a'post about the Auth problems but mine seems to be very different.

in phpmyadmin it says that http_auth is set to 0 but when i try to acesss my http://mysite/admin.php the http_auth box prompts me for my user info, so i input my PW and username and and nothing happens.
I have tried setting http_auth to 1 and it does the same thing.
i have looked in nuke_nsnst_admins and all my info is correct.
I have cleared my browers cache,cookies then reloaded a new browser the whole 9 yards.

I have set my username and password to protected in NS admin.
I cannot think of what i'm over looking but once again i have been workng tool long and i'm very tired.

any thoughts...

hitwalker,

Code:

Options All -Indexes


DirectoryIndex index.php index.htm index.html





# -------------------------------------------


# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) admin.php Auth


# -------------------------------------------


<Files .ftaccess>


  deny from all


</Files>





<Files .staccess>


  deny from all


</Files>





<Files admin.php>


   <Limit GET POST PUT>


      require valid-user


   </Limit>


   AuthName "Restricted"


   AuthType Basic


   AuthUserFile /path/to/your/.staccess


</Files>





# -------------------------------------------


# Start of NukeSentinel(tm) DENY FROM area


# -------------------------------------------

I have not changed anything it the .htaccess, i just renamed it.
i removed the .htaccess file and now can access my admin.php.
i'm not sure why my .staccess doesn't have my username & pw in it.
I know im just forgetting something here, (brain fart)

im a bit confused now..
do you wanna use the http_auth or not ?
If not and nothing is set then it will never show a http_auth login.

yes i do wish to use http_auth and it was poping up when i tried to login to admin.php but after entering my info it just prompted me for my info again like i had never entered it.

now i dont even have the option to use http_auth in NS admin, it just gives me the CGI_auth option. Confused

how and were do i change that back to having the http_auth option. is it in "nsnst_nuke_config because i have tried setting that to both 1 & 0 and in both cases it doesn't give me that option back.

i haven't had to reinstall nuke or NS for two years and if a person isn't doing this kind of stuff everyday they tend to forget a few things, ya know and im a voracious read too.

Sorry to jump in here, but I think the problem is in your htaccess. It is referring to a password file that isn't where htaccess thinks it is OR requires a user and password that you aren't using.

well then turn it all back as it was.....
if you are using it then you have to follow the correct way of setting it...
thats explained more then once on the forum...

hmm what is really strange, is that NS gave me the option to use http_auth the first time i configured it. but according to the info.php the server api says CGI.
i did notice that when i set the http_auth to 1 in phpmyadmin, after a bit it changed back to 0. Im going to just setup cgi_auth instead. this is too much trouble to deal with anymore. thanks for everyones help.
