Could someone show me the light.
I'm running Apache2 on Winxp. I have 3 domains that I'm currently trying to host. One of them is my personal website. I have some files that I'd like to password protect. I create my .htaccess file as shown:
I also created my .htpasswd file in DOS with the "htpasswd -c" command and it creates the .htpasswd file just fine. I put both the .htaccess and .htpasswd file in the directory I want to protect. When I type in the url, it brings up the Username/Password box just fine, but when I enter the username and password, it just pops back up again. After 3 times, I get "Authorization Required" error. Is there something I'm missing? Do I have to edit the httpd.conf in any way to make sure everythings o.k. Please help anyone.

No I didn't. So the usernames and passwords also need to go in the httpd.conf file? I didn't know that. In which section do you specify these usernames and passwords?
BTW, thanks for your reply.
