SetHandler server-status order deny,allow deny from all allow from 127.0.0.1 require valid-user AuthName Server Status: Use 'anonymous' and your email address for access AuthType basic #******** AuthUserFile conf/server-passwd #******** Anonymous_Authoritative on Anonymous anonymous guest Anonymous_LogEmail on Anonymous_VerifyEmail on Anonymous_NoUserID off If either or both of the two marked lines are commented out, I get "access to /server-status failed for 127.0.0.1, reason: configuration error: couldn't check user. No user file?" messages in the error log. I've done some further testing and these lines are needed *only* if they are not otherwise defined. I tried adding them in a "" section and it works. My current setup did not have them. Seems like they have to be "visible" in some way. It's not a big deal. I just think it should be stated clearly in the documentation. John
