title: Apache Log says: Deny - but it works (htaccess)
body: <p>I am playing a little bit with htaccess to know apache with xampp.</p>
  
  <p>I configured "AllowOverride All" for the whole / directory and the .htaccess files in the folders work properly.</p>
  
  <p>I get excluded from a "private" folder, I get access to a "public" folder. But the log says something completely different.</p>
  
  <p>For example Basic Authentication .htaccess:</p>
  
  <pre><code># .htaccess for password
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "password Folder is for password Folders"
  AuthUserFile C:/xampp/htdocs/password/.htusers
  Require valid-user
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I can login with correct passwords. But the log says it is denied !?</p>
  
  <p>Apache Error Log:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>[Thu May 10 13:04:05 2012] [error] [client ::1] client denied by
    server configuration: C:/xampp/htdocs/password/.htaccess [Thu May 10
    13:04:05 2012] [error] [client ::1] client denied by server
    configuration: C:/xampp/htdocs/password/.htusers</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Why? It works as I can see - but why does the log tell me something completely different?</p>
