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

cPanel to password protect a directory on a website. It was all point-click, so should haveĀ been simple and just work, except it didn't. After entering your login credentials, the server would return an error instead of giving you access to the directory contents: Error 500: Internal Server Error By password protecting the directory, cPanel was adding this to .htaccess in the protected directory: AuthName "Protected!" AuthUserFile "/home/account-name/.htpasswds/public_html/protected-directory/passwd" AuthType Basic require valid-user The problem was that cPanel was putting the password into a file that the apache process could not access. For whatever reason, the apache process could not read .htpasswds/public_html/protected-directory/passwd to check the credentials. The fix was to move the password file to somewhere the apache file could access it. In this case, I put it into the web root: /home/account-name/public_html/.passwd I made it an "hidden" file by prefixing it with a "." and this prevents it from being served up on the website. The AuthUserFile entry was set to point to this file: AuthUserFile "/home/account-name/public_html/.passwd" There will be other ways to solve the problem, other users running the httpd process and other security concerns to take into account, but making sure the password file can be read by the httpd process serving the site from account-name was the key.
