Check the error_log as recommended by andreif.<br />
<br />
If you copied over the working htaccess file, make sure the AuthUserFile is pointing the a valid file. &nbsp;And try to use &quot;Sarisfy any&quot; first. &nbsp;If it works, then remove the Satisft directive.<br />

Again, the error log should be helpful.

I posted a reply yesterday, but an error occured :o(<br />
<br />
I don't use authentication in the .htaccess file, but only rewrite rules. That was the major problem. in the site the option FollowSymLinks was not enabled which is needed by mod_rewrite.<br />
The error log showed this. I though I looked at it already, but I must have skipped this error.<br />

p.s. the apache text message &quot;access denied&quot; appeared.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have an odd problem with my apache.<br />
When I put an empty .htaccess in mu virtual web site the site isn't accesible at all.<br />
<br />
Even if I use a working htaccess file still the same problem occurs.<br />
<br />
What can be the problem here?<br />
