Question
We installed TWiki on a RedHat Enterprise Linux system with Plesk control panel. Enabling basic auth withTWiki::Client::ApacheLogin, login failed for registered users. All settings look OK, also the entries in twiki/data/.htpasswd.

Answer
If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box. -rw-------) of twiki/data/.htpasswd. Apache in this Plesk based system is configured to use a different user for each virtual site. Even though the .htpasswd was owned by the local Apache user, Apache was not able to read it. Changing the permission to 644 solved the problem.
