DirectorySlash On # Auth is checked in PHP (index.php), not via Apache AuthUserFile: relative # AuthUserFile paths resolve against ServerRoot, not this directory, and # that differs per environment (podman dev container vs cPanel). Some SAPIs # (LSAPI/CGI/FastCGI, used on cPanel) strip the Authorization header from # PHP by default, so forward it explicitly via an internal env var.
