Apache 2.0.49 vs. 1.3.7x

[Chas.H]

I'm puzzled about something.

I author a website at work. I have apache, php, and mysql on my win2000 box as a place to write and test my code. Then I send it to the linux webserver running apache 1.3.7x and it works fine. I write all the pages in XHTML and php. I copied the directory with the entire directory structure on to my flash key and brought it home to my FC2 box where I copied it into the /var/www/http/ directory. I have several projects there and they all work perfectly. However when I go into the project from any browser: localhost/workProject/ most of the links ask for authorisation(see attachment)

I looked at the httpd.conf. For that <Directory "/var/www/html">, it seems right:

Order allow,deny
Allow from all


What am I missing? Is it a difference between apache 1 and 2?

Any takers?

A .htaccess file. These contain options only applying to the current directory, including authorization. Files beginning with a dot (.) are hidden by default. Try

ls /var/www/html/workProject/.*

to find .htaccess files.

I found the .htaccess files and deleted them, now all is well.

As shown in man ls: ls -a shows all files, hidden or not and there is a boatload of hidden files.

Thanks, Jman...
