You haven't answered the above.  Which part of the server is presenting
the error.

In what way did you "disable" it?  I seem to recall that if you don't
have one, you end up with defaults.

I'd fix other problems before starting on a new one, but basic
authentication and HTTPS aren't compatible with each other.
