Login doesnt work

[tobyf@…]

Maybe I'm just to stupid:

• This config will work:

  <VirtualHost 83.151.25.254:80>
      DocumentRoot /home/oh-dev/tobyf.de/trac
      ServerName oh-trac.tobyf.de
      ServerAdmin webmaster@tobyf.de
  
      <Location "/">
          SetHandler mod_python
          PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
          PythonOption TracEnv /home/oh-dev/tobyf.de/trac
          PythonOption TracUriRoot /
          PythonDebug on
  #    </Location>
  
  #    <Location "/login">
          AuthType Basic
          AuthName "OpenHope Teambereich"
          AuthUserFile /home/oh-dev/tobyf.de/trac/trac_login
          Require valid-user
      </Location>
  
      ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.trac.log
      CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.trac.log combined
  </VirtualHost>
  

• This one not:

  <VirtualHost 83.151.25.254:80>
      DocumentRoot /home/oh-dev/tobyf.de/trac
      ServerName oh-trac.tobyf.de
      ServerAdmin webmaster@tobyf.de
  
      <Location "/">
          SetHandler mod_python
          PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend
          PythonOption TracEnv /home/oh-dev/tobyf.de/trac
          PythonOption TracUriRoot /
          PythonDebug on
      </Location>
  
      <Location "/login">
          AuthType Basic
          AuthName "OpenHope Teambereich"
          AuthUserFile /home/oh-dev/tobyf.de/trac/trac_login
          Require valid-user
      </Location>

I'm using Debian Edge with Apache 2.2.

All I get using the lower config is

Internal Error

Authentication information not available. Please refer to the installation documentation.

I have check all logs and found nothing relevant, whether in apache-logs nor in trac-logs.
If I move the installation to another path, eg. oh-trac.tobyf.de/trac it will work.

I think this is a very strange behaviour, maybe I made something wrong?

Did you try to swap the order of appearance of / and /login sections?

I don't think the second section (/login) is used, as the first directive is a catch-all one.

BTW this is an installation issue and should therefore be reported on the MailingList first - not filled in as a ticket - as detailled in the New Ticket web page…

[tobyf@…]

I tried nearly everything (yes, I swapped them!). I've also used LocationMatch.
To check if this Location /login Part is working, I added a Redirect to it and this one worked.
I guess that somehow the Apache ignores the Auth. But everywhere else on my server Auth works perfectly.
Sorry, I missed the part with the MailingList, I'm pretty frustrated right now. :(

Right, you should have tried the MailingList, as you'll reach many more people susceptible to help there…
