Environment
Adobe Experience Manager as a Cloud Service with Basic Auth configured
Added a .htpasswd
file in the /conf.d
folder.
Issue
Error "AH01620: Could not open password file: /etc/httpd/conf.d/.htpasswd
" in logs after configuring Basic Auth
`[` authn_file:error`]` `[` pid 241:tid 140454739073848`]` (2)No such file or directory: `[` client 000.00.00.000:0`]` AH01620: Could not open password file: /etc/httpd/conf.d/.htpasswd
Steps to Resolve
Rename the .htpasswd
file to remove the initial “.” period mark (For example: change “.htpasswd
” to “_htpasswd
”).
Cause
The files starting with a “.” period mark are considered hidden and removed while preprocessing the configuration.
