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 May 29 '13 at 7:51 steven 3,52311343 Success!

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 valid-user For furthe

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♦ 21.4k43279 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 /h
