Hi!

I've got the following problem: I use authentication in some .htaccess files, but I need to specify a RELATIVE path to the .htpasswd, because the server path is not persistent (this .htacess file is put in several directories),

so I would need to do the following:

AuthType Basic
AuthName Secure-Area
AuthUserFile admin/.htpasswd

and not

AuthUserFile /server/htdocs/admin/.htpasswd

[...]

Is this possible?

Thanks!

Yes but it must be a relative path to the ServerRoot and it won't work if your DocumentRoot is not under your ServerRoot.
