in .htaccess:

# Error document handling:

ErrorDocument   401     /error.php?error=401
ErrorDocument   403     /error.php?error=403
ErrorDocument   404     /error.php?error=404

# Content protection:

AuthUserFile /home/mordeth/public_html/access/.passwd AuthGroupFile /dev/null

if the 3 ErrorDocument lines are added to httpd.conf instead of to the .htaccess file, the server 403s the 401 page, despite the fact that it is able to read it.

very bizarre.

that .htaccess works perfectly under Apache 1.3.26, by the way.

it took me a long time to figure out that it was the ErrorDocument directives that were causing a couple of my domains to not ask for username and password.
