Password Protected pages all of a sudden not working
I have several pages on a site i maintain that have password protected articles. I set up the majority of the site a year ago and left the content to be maintained by the sites owner. He emailed me Friday and said that the password protected pages are not accessible. I just confirmed this.
at the top of the protected articles I have <txp:password_protect login="username" pass="password" />, the username and password is different for each of the protected pages. right now if I try and go to one of the password protected pages I get sent to the 401 page.
I just upgraded the site from 4.06 to 4.08, but nothing changed. I’m not sure what might have happened to make the password protected articles to stop allowing access.
Can anyone assist?

Re: Password Protected pages all of a sudden not working
I had to pull off the password protect tag to get at the source, so I’m not sure if this is helpful.

Yep. I cannot see anything wrong with the way the rest of the tags are parsed. 4.0.8 is more strict regarding well formed tags. Are your password protect tags OK?. An empty space where there shouldn’t be one for example would cause them to malfunction.

Re: Password Protected pages all of a sudden not working
Could this have anything to do with our server running PHP5 as CGI? We did this about a month ago to fix some ownership issues.
i ask because I just found this in a search that kinda sounds like the problem i’m having.

Re: Password Protected pages all of a sudden not working
It kind of sounds like I need a workaround for the http authentication from textpattern’s Password Protected pages passing on a server running Apache suEXEC. I’ve been looking all morning and come up empty.

Probably. I’ve had the same problem.

DO you know if there is a .htaccess work around for this?

Re: Password Protected pages all of a sudden not working
Don’t know if this would work. It’s at least worth a try.
