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? internal server error 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♦ 21.3k43279 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. 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 File Manager part I can see the real location for our files (/home/companyname). share|improve this answer answered Apr 6 '11 at 16:25 paulmorriss 14.5k12648 I thought the path I had was odd.

The browser asks me for login username and password, and after I enter correct details, it shows me this "Internal server error" error. If there was some issue with .htaccess or .htpasswd files, then popup box for entering username and password should not get visible. I wonder what might be the issue on my new server. authtype basic authuserfile /var/www/vhosts/abc.com/httpdocs/admin/.htpasswd authname "Secure Area" require user admin Both .htaccess and .htpasswd files are in the same folder. Moreover if I include this line in .htaccess file, it shows internal server error WITHOUT asking me any username or password. authgroupfile /dev/null Please suggest. ScallioXTX 2011-01-18 10:06:48 UTC #2 I also got this error a while back and the problem for me was that the 401 file Apache was linked to didn't exist. To test this create an empty file called 401.html in your web root and put ErrorDocument 401 /401.html at the top of your .htaccess If that solves the problem you can amend 401.html with the message you'd like people to see if they don't correctly log in.
