OK, I found a work around for my problem – the install had set
authtype to database because I had created a new amportal.conf – what
is the purpose of this and should it work?
Hi. I have jus installed freepbx on another server and am getting the
following strange result. I have the Document root as /var/www and
protected /var/www/html/admin with
<Directory /var/www/html/admin>
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Restricted Area"
AuthUserFile /etc/apache2-asterisk/wwwpasswd
Require user wwwadmin
Now when I enter the server:8081/html/admin it asks for the user name
and password and gives me the page. However when I clicked on tools
it wanted another user name and password and it fails. The title
changes to [email protected] followed by what looks like a session id. I
did make sure that /var/lib/php4 is owned by asterisk.asterisk which
is what the apache2 is running.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Your life is like a penny. You’re going to lose it. The question is:
How do
you spend it?

the system does not work properly.

FreePBX no longer requires authentication configured in httpd.conf – it
uses HTTP authentication driven from the database.
