HTTP Authentication Box Prompts Twice

Hello,

This isn't a cPanel problem per se, but this is the first time I've set up basic http authentication in cPanel vice the command line and the first time I've seen this behaviour. I'm wondering if I've missed something cPanel-esque.

When accessing all of my password protected directories, I am prompted to log in twice. It's very consistent - two login prompts and then I'm in.

I thought that I might be access a directory that had two .htaccess files in it's path somewhere, but I've verified that this is not the case. There is only one .htaccess file requiring authentication in the path and it resides in the final directory I am attempting to access.

The apache logs are no help (in fact they're empty - where does WHM log??).

Does anyone know why this might be happening or where I can look for more information on troubleshooting this?

Thanks!

 

That was it! Going to www.domain.com only prompts once.

I never would have figured that out. Thanks!
