I have a really simple authorization configuration, but I'm getting a weird message rather than a user/password field when I try to access the page.

Here's my .htaccess file:

AuthType basic
AuthName "No Way"
AuthUserFile /path/to/auth/file.password
Require valid-user

Here's what I'm seeing in my browser:

The problem is, I haven't even had the opportunity to offer my credentials.

EDIT

It seems that the problem is caused by using a different DNS name. I'm running a dynamic DNS for my domain name and if I use another domain which forwards to the first name, it doesn't work. If I use the original domain name, it works.

IE:

me.dyndns.org/secure - Works
me.myserver.org/secure - Doesn't work.

It seems that a simple ping of me.myserver.org points to a GoDaddy address, so I'm not even sure how it's forwarding to my server at all. A ping of me.dyndns.org returns the right IP, though. How can I set up domain forwarding to have the domain map to the IP address of the dyndns domain?

If you're using Firefox, you should clear cache and active logins or try with another web browser.

  • I've isolated the problem down a bit further, it has to do with DNS issues, it would seem. Please see the question edit. – Naftuli Kay Oct 17 '11 at 06:23
