[Phpwiki-talk] auth problems (fwd)

[Steve W. <sw...@wc...>]

Michael wrote me with problems using the admin/ tools... he was just
getting a server error. It looks like some weirdness with his server
configuration, and he ultimately did away with wiki_auth.php3 and
installed his own .htaccess file.

Now it works.

1. My ISP has only .php3, not .php included for running PHP. I have
altered the file names etc.
2. If I insert a blank line before the first line in admin/index.php3 I
don't get the error 500 (strange???)
3. I don't get a prompt for the password, so I think my ISP don't has
auth enabled.
4. I have wiki_auth..php3 commented out and a .htaccess included in the
admin directory - no sloppy systems administration ;)
5. The directories in wiki_config.php3 don't work for admin/php3. I have
included a $AdminArchiveDataBase with a "../" before the path from
$ArchiveDataBase.

Thank you for the hints. It was a big help!

best regards
