This is a major cause of problems. If Apache cannot find the .htpasswd file, then all attempts will fail. Make sure the permissions on the .htaccess and .htpasswd files are set so that Apache can read them. chmod 0644 .htaccess chmod 0644 .htpasswd Other issues may be out of your control. Web administrators can lock down Apache so that it ignores all .htaccess files it encounters. This can be achieved with an AllowOverride None directive and option on the ServerRoot/DocumentRoot directories. If this is the case (.htaccess not allowed) you will have to kindly ask your web administrator to allow .htaccess files with authorization directives in your personal web directory. This can be achieved with AllowOverride AuthConfig directive and option. share|improve this answer answered Ma

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 occurred, and anything you might have done that http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15476252/htpasswd-and-htaccess-internal-server-error 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 put it in some place not accessible from the web, i.e. /etc/apache2/htpasswd or wherever it suits you. share|

A 500 error must create a log entry somewhere. (The error is most likely the leading / in your paths, though. Your htpasswd file is not really in the system's root directory, is it?) –Pekka 웃 Nov 14 '13 at 1:07 a 404 error is registered, but not this 500 error. –user2990084 Nov 14 '13 at 1:08 Strange. Are you sure you are looking in the error log?

Not sure what's going on then, maybe un-hide the directory by naming it htpasswds - and look out for that error log.

I created a .htaccess file which referenced the .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.

For example, when I FTP in to my space it looks like the root is / and the web root is /public_html, but in fact on the server the root is /home/companyname and the web root is /home/companyname/public_html. You will need to find out from your hosting company where the files really live. We have cPanel and when I go to the
