I've been googling for over 2 hours and nothing I try is working... I want to password protect my website, but as soon as I add in the .htpasswd and .htaccess files I get a server error: Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request. Please contact the server administrator and inform them of the time the error
500 Internal Server Error .htaccess File
occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log. Here is the code I'm using: .htaccess AuthType Basic AuthName "Top Secret for SongKick eyes only." AuthUserFile /webroot/.htpasswd require valid-user .htpasswd songkick:isS1rCTQE/p8E I've also tried AuthUserFile /.htpasswd (ie. without "webroot", which is the name of the folder it appears to be in in File Manager) but this doesn't work either. I'm using GoDaddy hosting btw, if that makes a difference. Any help is much appreciated - I'm not a developer so don't understand a lot of the terms used in many of the help articles! .htaccess .htpasswd share|improve this question edited Mar 18 '13 at 12:00 JakeGould 16.5k62851 asked Mar 18 '13 at 11:56 Leanne Beesley 51113 It should show detailed error report in apache log file, check it first. –aram90 Mar 18 '13 at 11:59 add a comment| 4 Answers 4 active oldest votes up vote 21 down vote You must supply the complete path to your password file, not the relative path from DocumentRoot. If DocumentRoot is /var/www and the password file is /var/www/webroot/.htpasswd, you must say AuthUserFile /var/www/webroot/.htpasswd in your .htaccess file. Said that, you shouldn't put your password file anywhere accessible in your DocumentRoot. Better pu

I created a .htaccess file which referenced the internal server error .htpasswd as follows: AuthType Basic AuthName "Protected Area" AuthUserFile /.htpasswd Require valid-user However when I uploaded this .htaccess file to the directory I want to password protect accessing the folder via the URL in my browser returns a 500 internal server error. I have used this same method before successfully. Am I referencing the .htpasswd incorrectly? I also uploaded it to /public_html/ in case .htaccess interprets / as the web root, but the error remains. Any ideas what is wrong? htaccess security error htpasswd http-code-500 share|improve this question edited Mar 8 '13 at 12:06 Simon Hayter♦ 21.2k43279 asked Apr 6 '11 at 15:53 Steve 6553831 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 4 down vote accepted The path after AuthUserFile is the place in the filesystem where the file lives, and you need to know where your web hosting space root really is.
