HTTP – AH01627: AuthType error configured with no corresponding authorization directives

Receiving the above (AH01627) error?

You have a misconfiguration usually in .htaccess. It usually happens when you’ve upgraded Apache.

HTTP – AH01627: AuthType configured with no corresponding authorization directives

It’s quite simple, all you need to add is the following line into your .htaccess file:

Require valid-user

So for example a full .htaccess file would look like this:

AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
AuthName "Testing"
Require valid-user
