Sounds like the password may be wrong between the docs and the
.htpasswd file? Make sure .htpasswd is readable by all users, esp. if
httpd is not running with root permissions.
Try this From the command line:
htpasswd /var/webcal/.htpasswd admin
and set the password for the user admin.
If you get 'htpasswd not found' error, then prefix the command with
your Apache/bin directory, ie if Apache/bin is located at
/usr/local/apache:
/usr/local/apache/bin/htpasswd /var/webcal/.htpasswd admin
My htpasswd is in /usr/bin on my Caldera distro, /usr/lib/apache/bin on
my SCO distro.
