How to set relative paths to .htpasswd?

Question

Apache HTTP Server

AuthType Basic<br/>
AuthName &quot;Say the password or bite my shiny *ss&quot;<br/>
AuthUserFile /home/u*****/example.com/foo/.htpasswd <br/>
Require valid-user<br/>

How can I set a relative path to .htpasswd to make it work?
In this case, you need this standard .htaccess file to be uploaded to the repository and then used in any project, so you don’t want to specify absolute paths (as in this example).

Answer 1

Relative paths are not supported. We'll have to write absolute.

Answer 2

httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_auth.html#authuserfile
File-path is the path to the user file. If it is not absolute (ie, if it doesn't begin with a slash), it is treated as relative to the ServerRoot.

Answer 3

Try it with the help of a server programming language, in php, for example, you can do this .
