  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Apache Access control policy

kadoudal

Regular Pleskian
I created vhost with access control on a directory, but it seems that no control at all are performed.... (existing users and passwords in the AuthUserFile....) when reaching the URL http://www.mydomain.net/mysuburi

here is my /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.net/conf/vhost.conf

<Directory /var/rails/mydomain/dev/mysuburi/current/public >
AuthType Basic
AuthName "mydomainRepository"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_mydomain.passwd
Require valid-user
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from all
</Directory>

which is strange, is that this AuthUserFile is used also to control the access to a subdomain (svn) and this time the control is performed when reaching the url "http://svn.mydomain.net/myproject"

/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.net/subdomains/svn/conf/vhost.conf

<Location /myproject >
DAV svn
SVNPath /var/svn/opticoaching/myproject
AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/opticoaching_svn_access.rules
Require valid-user
AuthType Basic
AuthName "mydomainRepository"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_mydomain.passwd
<LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
Require valid-user
</LimitExcept>
</Location>

Am I missing anything important ? (I guess so, but what ? and where ?)

thanks for your help
 
Hi,

Make sure that /etc/apache2/dav_mydomain.passwd is readable to user/group httpd is running under (usually it is apache/apache).

Also try running
/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -v -a

to rebuild apache configs. Perhaps /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.net/conf/vhost.conf was simply not included - it should be included after websrvmng execution

If it does not help then try checking apache error log when accessing domain page:
/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.net/statisits/logs/error_log

Maybe this will give more clues.
