If you do not have access to it, check the following: is this technique supported by the server? (ask your provider or admin) is AuthUserFile correct? It seems to be missing a slash and the directory is unusual. I would have suspected something like AuthUserFile /home/webuser/sitefolder/.htpasswd. change the group-file to AuthGroupFile None instead of pointing apache to read /dev/null. Think of /dev/null as a bottom-less trashcan. It's not easy to get anything from there and might be a reason for the server to fail trying. change the case of your require to Require valid-user. It needs to be a capital R. To sum up: AuthName "Restricted Area" AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /home/webuser/sitefolder/.htpasswd AuthGroupFile None Require v
