Re: PHP_AUTH_USER not set?

I have a simular problem. I think it has to do with apache-configuration. Look for a line with this information in http.conf: -------------------------------- # This controls which options the .htaccess files in directories can # override. Can also be "All", or any combination of "Options", "FileInfo", # "AuthConfig", and "Limit" AllowOverride All -------------------------------- This is probably set to "AllowOverride None". It should be in the part of configuring .htaccess... I'm not sure, but it could be the solution. Does anyone else have a better idea of this? ;) /Magnus Hammar ------------------------------------------- >I'm beginning with PHP and have problem where PHP_AUTH_USER does not >seem to be set.
